Seafood, Meat, Household Items Top Best Deals

Free and almost free items can be found at Kroger, Walgreens and CVS this week.

This column is dedicated to finding the best deals on groceries for your family. I do not list all of the sale items, only the items that are at such great prices they are good enough to stock up on.

 Save your newspaper coupon inserts in a folder with the insert date written on the front and you can easily find the coupons mentioned each week. If you prefer, just use the internet printable coupons which can be printed twice per person. Be sure to do this as soon as you realize that you want them because they often change or get pulled by the websites once a certain number have been printed. Even if you do not use coupons, you will be able to save money by following this column each week.

still has their March To Savings event going on which saves their customers $5 off of their bottom line grocery bill when 10 participating items are purchased. Combining this deal with coupons makes for some really great bargains. This is a two-week sale and these deals can be found in last week's Patch article .
