[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have y'all ever heard of coupons?

The Safeway app has discounts that in some cases are not advertised.  [/quote]

Have you ever heard of the value of time?  Rather than scour apps and print ads for coupons on mostly brand name products that aren't on my list, I'd rather plan out meals, shop at Aldi/Costco.[/quote]

I sure have, it is called planning.  The app/website in Safeway's case takes less than 5 minutes to see what is on sale for that current week.

Coupons, ten minutes tops, the Sunday Wash Post doesn't add that many.

I guess you don't like to save money on shampoo, soap, ice cream, and other things that are not on your meal preparation list either?

All of that stuff is cheaper as Brand X at Aldi/Costco![/quote]

Really?  I have seen ice cream as low as $2 at Safeway depending on the week. Let's put it this way, between sales and other things, I have saved well over $500 this year.  
Also, Aldi isn't that popular (at least in Northern VA, just did a search in multiple cities).  Costco is a pain to get in and out of, and frankly, bulk only works if you have the cabinet space and a big enough family. [/quote]

This is ridiculous. Only the Pentagon City Costco is a pain because of the parking lot construction. I shop there as a single person in an 800 sf condo!

Why do you care if people use coupons or where they shop?[/quote]
