Best Deals On Your Shopping Staples in Central Ohio

We’re trying something new this week. How do you feel about us doing the basic shopping research so you don’t have to? We love coupons and being frugal. Part of shopping is simply being smart. If you are driving by CVS each day on your way home from work and they happen to have the best price on milk this week, you might as well pick it up. We live in the Northwest suburbs of Columbus. We will try to find the best deals at the stores for you each week in the Columbus Metropolitan area.

This week, we are simply going to give you some of the best deals on grocery staples in the Central Ohio area. We have a lot of ideas of what to include, but this is where we could really use your help. Please leave your comments.

Our favorite deal of the week is Kraft Easy Mac cups for $0.50 from Kroger as part of their 10 for 10 deal.

10 for 10 deals are fantastic but we don’t think many people take advantage. Most people don’t want 10 of any single item and they find it too time consuming to find the other items. Here is our tip. Just make tally marks on a sheet of paper as you go through your local store. Add tally marks as you add matching items to your cart. If you don’t have the required 10 items at the end, you can easily circle back to add 1 or 2 of items you have already added to your cart.
