[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup. 1000% OP.

This economy is a disaster.

I've been buying ingredients to make a pie for a Memorial Day cookout. I sh*t you not, I've spent over $35 to buy flour, butter, sugar, and the fruit going into it. INSANE. [/quote]

SureOP, sure. Butter, flour and sugar will run you $15 max- all pantry staples. No fruit is in season except strawberries, and those are not costing you $20. [/quote]

Butter: $8.50
Flour: $8.79
Sugar: $5.99
Berries: $7.50

Add tax.  $35.

Go back to your expired food section in the lowest of the low store, Carol.  I bet you buy flour with weevils in it, then brag about how thrifty of a shopper you are, lol.  [/quote]

Safeway:

Butter: $4.39 for a box
Flour: $3.49 for 5 lbs
Sugar  $4.79 for 4 lbs
2 lbs strawberries: $3.99 (online [b]Safeway coupon)
[/b]
Total: $16.66[/quote]
NP. People still clip coupons? Interesting, I used to do that as a young girl with my grandmother. [/quote]

I gave up on coupons when I realized it's all the processed garbage food that has the coupons. It just wasn't worth it for me to check, clip, store and use them by the date for the "good" stuff as it's rare. [/quote]

DP but Safeway electronic coupons don't need to be stored anywhere and they track your spending and give you discounts on what you actually buy, like produce and milk or half and half.  Sure there are always coupons for Doritos but I don't tap on those - I save ~30% per trip on the things I was going to buy anyway (more when there's a holiday deal like a free turkey or rib roast for $5.99/lb).[/quote]
