[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]

Stores that offer rewards (where you can put in your phone number or scan your card to get discounts) have online coupons. You don't need to "clip" them physically. You just add them to your account online, add the items to your cart at the store, and then scan your card/enter your number when you check out and the discounts are applied.

It's almost like some of y'all need a remedial class in home ec. Pathetic.[/quote]
