A look at the 99¢ Only Store Deals

I think I gotten the look I want for now, so let's get down the nitty gritty.

First and foremost when and where you shop can make a huge difference in the cost of a simple meal. When I see people spending $3-$4 for the EXACT same product they can get at the 99¢ Only store, Sav a Lot Foods or Dollar Tree.

The 99¢ has a vast selection of fruits and vegetables as well as name brand items to meet just about any budget. They also get weekly deliveries of various breads from Sara Lee where you can get some great bread for a much lower price. SF Sour Dough, lower calorie, Oro Wheat, etc..

If you're throwing a party you can't beat their 24pks of hot dog or hamburger buns and several times I've stocked up on some pretty sweet deals on hot dogs like you see below.

 

Something that also needs to be remembered when shopping at the 99¢ if you see a great deal and don't buy it that day, don't plan on buying it the next day either! LOL My garage freezer has about 12 boxes of Magnum Almond Ice Cream Bars right now because they had them piled high in the freezers last week. Those did stick around a few days but it's rare. So YES you see it you buy it or cry later. :)

Right before the holidays the La Mesa store had Cracker Barrel White Cheddar Cheese and Johnsonville Summer Sausage. I priced the exact same cheese at Ralphs and Vons and it was around $4.

So those are just some of the great finds over the recent months but you just never know when you drop in what might be waiting to go home with you! In my next entry I'll rate the various 99's around town in terms of choices and check out lines.

 

Until then....Happy April Fools Day and keep safe!
