besides grocery stores and places like Aldi's or Save-a-lot? Do you find good deals at warehouse places like Sam's Club? Do you go to a dented can store or use Angelfood Ministries?

--I get bread and buns from the Wonder Bread store. You can find other deals there as well.
--You can find eals at Dollar Tree and other Dollar stores like Dollar General.

I do not have a Aldi's or Save a lot store and Sam's club is over an hour long drive one way for us, so we do not go there but every few months. I have a dent and ding type store that I check out once in a while, but they havent had anything good lately. Although I did buy a box of Rice Krispie cereal with strawberries for a buck the other day. Only thing wrong with it was one corner was smushed in like 1/2 an inch. Ok with me, only cost 0.90! The store I work at does sell some canned and boxed goods. Plus they sell their dinged up stuff for less than half off! And I use my employee discount on top of that. I got about $30 worth of canned goods for $9.87 last time I worked. I do not have Angel Food in my area but I do have Share Colorado. I believe it is basically like Angel Food. They have good food from there, diffiantely worth checking out, they serve a lot of states.

SHARE Colorado Online -

There is an Aldis here and a deep discount store called Marcs. Its not my favorite store to walk around so much junk but they do sometimes have some great prices!

I buy milk at Kwik Trip. It is the cheapest for milk. I like to buy crackers at Family Dollar and I buy all my cereal at Target (we don't have a super Target)

I don't have a lot of options. I check out the Big Lots and the Dollar store. You still have to know your grocery store prices, though.

I noticed Target has some great deals on food. I pick up a few things here and there but typically don't grocery shop at Target. (It is not a Super Target). I noticed that cereal and granolas were cheaper. The big carton of goldfish was $2 cheaper than my grocery store. I plan to compare more prices when I have time.
