I work in a grocery store. The flyers you get in the mail every week... they repeat themselves about every 2-3 months. So buy enough of the sale products to get you through to the next sale..like laundry detergent, soap, cleaning supplies, canned goods etc.
I use those flyers to plan what I'm going to buy, if it isn't on special, I wait until it is, or get a special coupon worth money off a certain amount or product. I shop at Kroger because it is only 4 blocks from my home.
Meats in pkgs, trays have to have a Tare weight... So your paying for the meat only, not the tray . Example Ground Beef , pork chops, Roast, chicken.... Weights and measurements are always going to Grocery stores to get weights from different meats...
Some of my best steaks are right after the 4th of July and the store ordered to many. I have picked up $50.00 meat for $10.00. Then freeze some too. Shop after holidays.
One thing to watch out for at the Walmart clearance rack is they will take items off the shelf put it on the clearance rack but don't mark them down. Make sure what you get from the clearance rack has a yellow sticker with a lower price or you will be paying the shelf price. An employee told me that one.
I do almost all of my grocery shopping at Walmart these days. One thing I have learned is that many times, the brand named products are cheaper than the Great Value brand products but people are conditioned to automatically buy the store brand to save money and they don’t notice that the Del Monte tomatoes are cheaper than the Great Value tomatoes. You have to pay attention to the shelf prices.
I just recently noticed that too on eggs...the Walmart brand eggs were about 40 cents more than the name brand for a dozen...I will be checking everything now...
@@TrixieJFerguson Yes, Walmart raised the prices of their own products even though they were making profits before the pandemic. It’s disgraceful how these greedy corporations don’t care about people just themselves.
@@dwslar4ever Before the pandemic, I was able to buy a carton of 18 extra large eggs for $2.48. Now those same eggs at Walmart cost $6.22. They are the Hill Country brand I believe. That price hike is not just inflation. It’s greed plain and simple.
I am Canadian and Walmart sure gouge us. One has to know their pricing. I buy at Walmart for quick things. I do my veggies, eggs, milk and cans at Food Basics. I buy my meat at Metro, Lob Laws or Soby's. I like quality meat. I will buy the odd time at Walmart for meat depends what it is.
Some of those prices increased due to the theft in the other departments. You dont believe crime in those sanctuary citys affect you till your Paying out of your own pocket for THEIR grocerys.
Im 63 and disabled, so you know money is always tight. Ive had to start on line shopping from walmart because its hard to get around. The first thing i learned is DO NOT LET THEM SUBSTITUTE unless there is a comparable wal mart brand you want..i have just decided not to let them substitute on my orders at all. For example i would order a pint of blueberries, they said the pint was not available, so they sent me a pound, cost three times as much..and i went in the store after they loaded my groceries..and THERE WERE PINTS OF BLUEBERRIES. So i prefer not to allow substitutions. I never thought about checking weights, but you can bet i will when i shop in the store from now on. Thanks for the tips, and thanks for another video❤
I totally agree. That's for any store I shop at. If they have an option of choosing a specific substitution I will go ahead and choose that for myself. The other thing I do, which some people might think defeats the purpose of ordering for pickup, is plan to have time to go into the store myself when I pick up. There are things I don't trust the employees to pick and that includes fresh meats and produce. I also can't get the discounted items in a pickup order. Last, if they say something is not available I can go in and often find it on the shelf or decide on a substitution based on what I see. I know this wouldn't work for everyone but it's what I often do.
And ALWAYS check your receipt on online orders to make sure the price is accurate. I got charged for rhe larger size of 3 items in one order but they sent the small size. And I've had items I was charged for that I didn't receive. There was a steak, a container of crab meat and a bottle of wine (anniversary dinner) that were missing. Come to find out the delivery driver did some shopping out of my bags. They refunded my money but then I had to go to the store to pick up the items. Aggrevating.
If they substitute an item, they are not supposed to charge you more than the original item you ordered. Using your example, if they only had a pound of blueberries, then it should have been the same price as the pint that you ordered. Hope this helps in the future!
I shop at Walmart weekly either in store,online or store pickup. I don’t trust that Walmarts meat is fresh so I don’t buy their meat unless it’s frozen or rotisserie chicken. I try not to buy anything via store pickup that has to be weighed & stopped allowing substitutions w/online pickup. One time I declined an online pickup substitution but I really needed the item so went into the store to see if I could find a similar item. Lo & behold the item that I actually wanted was in stock. Also, if Im forced to self checkout, I triple bag everything & save $ by using those bags as bathroom garbage bags. Those extra bags are pennies to Walmart but kinda satisfying to me😂
Your Salmon looks delicious. Nice that your friend can trade products. I stay away from Walmart meat and deli.. Thank you for the video and tips. Blessings to you.
Hi from Kansas City! I bought 2 loaves of that reduced French bread at 50 cents a loaf. I took one loaf this morning, sliced it up and made French toast with all of it. I ate a few pieces, and put the rest in the freezer for breakfasts this month. 2nd loaf i made into French bread pizzas. I got 6 nice sized pieces. Great bargain!
I like cooking salmon with the skin on. I love the crispy skin. Cook salmon anyway YOU like! It's a healthy protein to add to your diet. Unfortunately, salmon prices are crazy now. Look for sales! Thanks for the video!
For years, there have been weighing stations with scales in multiple areas throughout the produce section. Some even have the digital scales not just the old fashion scales. You don't need to go all the way to checkout to weigh something. Additionally, you have to also account for the weight of the packaging to see if they are scamming on the label. The only way to know that is to actually remove the product from the actual packaging and weigh it. For those who want to test this on a regular basis because you never know which one is an inaccurate label to get you to pay more money. But then if everyone did that people's dirty hands will contaminate the produce. What I highly recommend is to just stop buying pre-packaged meat and cheese and get it sliced fresh at the deli counter and watch them weigh and package your meat and/or cheese. Problem solved.
I worked at Walmart. For meat deals or day old bread deals, you have to go very early in the morning. I mean just about when it opens UP. Then they have the best meat and the end caps for sale will have the best bread, donuts, etc. However, 'other' end caps where you 'think' they're on sale, aren't. They are the same exact items that they have on the shelves. Here, they re-stock stuff around Wednesday, so you are most likely to find what you want then- But it could vary where you are. If you go online and they are out of stock, Keep trying for a couple of days and things will likely be back in.
The day shift brings out the "on sale" meat and bread. The bread comes out around 8 am, and the meat around 8:30 or 9 am. They go FAST, so be there at the right time. Also, when you buy bulk, do the math. Sometimes it isn't cheaper. Example: this week they had canned corn .98 a can. A pack of 4 cans was $4.48. Bought individually, 4 cans was $3.92. You gotta pay attention, cause they do that a lot. Also, if you buy something with no price tag on it, check the price before you pay for it or you may be in for nasty surprise when get home and check your ticket. If you buy soda in big bottles, but waste money because it goes flat, squeeze the air out of the bottle and put the cap on tight. It lasts just fine that way. I've also learned to count my pills from the Walmart pharmacy. I've caught them shorting my meds several times.
@@deborahlafountain9595 It seems like since the pandemic a lot of stores meat has been previously frozen. They don't have any signs saying that it was frozen. It's in the refrigerated section thawed out or thawing out You're not supposed to refreeze meat.
Put the app on and check prices with your smart phone. First press the app then at the bottom of first page press services then a screen for check price. In the women’s clothing and the clearance isle this can make a big difference.
I love using my Ibotta to receive rebates. In particular walmart has the most available rebates with the most common items we would all purchase. It's a great way to try new items you haven't tried yet. And just maybe you can get a name brand item for half off...which would be roughly the cost of the off brand. If anything Don't sleep on the household grocery or personal personal care rebates!!
Nice video! I am a budget shopper. I also have a scale at home and think I will check weights with my own scale. Even the register scales could be wrong. You are great at speaking natural and explaining things. My first time watching you but I think I’ll subscribe and see what else you have to report on. I’ll check out your channel and browse past videos too! Thanks!
Walmart too...everywhere.... actually you have to watch every single price. Just the other day I got some green chilies and it rang up 11 and some change higher than what it was supposed to.
They have actually been sued in several states. We do not shop at Dollar General for that reason. It's been a long time since I've been in the one in our small town
I love all of your videos! You could be sitting counting your toes and I'd love it! I do buy from Walmart but usually online . Today I found flash sales and some great items with great deals! I love y'all! Keep on keeping in!
Scan your receipts to one of those apps like fetch so you get some of your money back. Some Walmart bakeries will give you for free or sell you for $1 the frosting buckets. Good bucket and lid for lots of things and is food safe. Find out what day produce comes in at and buy that day or the next. Try not to shop for fresh stuff out of season. Check the dates on vitamins, supplements and medicines. Some are close to expiring so look for one with longer shelf life. All I can think of right now for Walmart and etc. Subscribed.
Well that's a money saver right there with that water trick. I just looked up Salmon at Walmart. 2lbs of frozen salmon skinless is just about $20 here in North East NY... BUT, the skin ON is only $10 for 2 lbs!!!!!! HUGE savings! I am soooooo going to go get the ones with the skins and try this trick on them! awesome, love it!
Look for a grocery outlet, Aldi, or dented can type of outlet store, Walmart, and Dollar tree with your typical grocery list. Make a row for each store next to the items on your list, Each time you go to the stores write down the costs for each item. Only takes a bit of effort to find out where to shop for which items, or if it's worth the small savings to go to the other store.Try to tie going to these stores only when you have other errands in that area unless you will save/be purchasing enough to make it worth the trip
I used to peel the skin off first before I cooked my salmon. I realized that my salmon would break apart too much in the pan when I removed the skin. I sear the skin on, and it peels right off anyway once the fish is cooked. Great trick, though!
That’s what I found out too some years back I would put my salmon on the grill and cook it skin side down the longest then flip it over and finish cooking it on the meat side!! And the skin comes right off
I save a fortune by not shopping in Walmart at all. We buy one-ingredient foods, in bulk, usually from the Amish farmers near us. Then we grow most of our produce, all of our mushrooms, and keep free-range chickens. I shop at Aldi or Kroger for deals on things we don't grow... like lemons, limes, coffee, wild-caught sockeye salmon, canned salmon, herring, and sardines, olive oil, and coconut oil. We LOVE the crispy skin on a fresh piece of salmon, cooked the restaurant way. We also like the skin and bones in canned salmon for the extra nutrition.
I compared our Sam’s Club vs Walmart. The buildings are directly side by side here. Plus, I’m a low income disabled senior who has to watch each penny. The Arteso?sp bread is $3.98 at Walmart for one loaf, and $4.28 for two loaves together. Activia yogurt is $7.28 for a 12 pak at Walmart, $10.48 for a 24 pak at Sam’s club. I buy the pork tenderloin at Sam’s Club and the butcher there will cut to your specifications. What normally is super fatty and not as tasty at Walmart, Sams is lean and will feed several meals for a big family. Love to do cost comparison always.🥰🤗🙏🏻
Funny how the same people own Sams and Walmart. Sams buys in larger quantities than Walmart and have lower overhead. People just like something to grip about.
I do too, but I make sure I’m saving with more than one item because I found myself wasting gas just to save a couple of dollars when all the savings just went in the gas tank due to running from store to store for separate foods on sale
I am lucky to have a freezer of meat from buying a half cow from a farmer I know and trust so I just buy pork or chicken, on sale. I cannot believe how expensive just the basics are. I am doing more baking and just bought a dehydrator to make healthier snacks and dog treats. Great video, will start checking weights from now on
Nice Looking Hat! I love my Tractor Supply Hat time for me to pick up a few more ! Thank you for this very imformative video. Very helpful. I usually get my salmon from walmart and love this tip cant wait to try it!
I like Chicken Livers they want $4.27# for it I went to another grocery store here in Klamath Falls, OR and they were $2.21# even Chicken Hearts and Gizzards were much Higher. I grew up eating Chicken/Turkey Livers, Beef Liver & Hearts in meals in the 1950s through the 1960s my mom would use things to stretch her food bill with 6 kids. That stuff was good eating, my friends hated the Liver. I found a local Diner that makes great Calf Liver & Onions Diner, It brought back memories.
I have had that happen; the weight of meat being less. Not anything drastic such as 8 ounces less, but I have had as much as about 4 ounces less in items such as 10 lb hamburger roll, pork loin, (farm fresh brand?), pork chops, ground pork and ground chicken. Also, sometimes their frozen vegetables are less by an ounce of so. It happens in spurts, nothing constant but has been actually going on for a few years. Have you ever noticed what happens with eggs? It's like they rotate egg sizes. There are times when large eggs are noticeably smaller than usual for awhile and then after a month-ish, give or take a bit, they're the proper size again.
There's a minimum and a maximum per size weight. Likely it's all the same age laying hens especially with culled flocks from bird flu. They lay smaller eggs at first and gradually make bigger eggs.
Also, I agree with your separation of thin cut area from the thicker. To save time I turn the thinnest side out yo the outer edge of the pan where heat is lower than the center. ( not when using a flat top)
@@pbear7814 I don't know where you are, but for the past four months I have been buying amazing eggs from a family that raises chickens in their farm. I get 30 huge eggs for $9 plus $1 delivery fee. The girl even brings them to my table inside the house! There might be alternatives where you live. I live in Miami, Florida 🥰
News flash the larger package is not always the cheapest, you have to compare both prices, the sticker will show the best price per lb/per unit. I personally never use the self-serve registers, it cuts Americans out of jobs.
Hi fello Okie, I just found your channel, lot's of info. Thank you. I don't buy meat from Walmart, heard and actually saw thing's about their meat that I wouldn't think twice about buying their meat. My granddaughter worked at a Walmart, she told me alot. So I subbed your channel, liked, hit the bell and of course commented.
Thanks for the tips! I get up early and get to the popular grocery store chain in TX, by 7am. They would have their meat discounts done early, and I could stock up!
New sub here👍. Walmart has a yellow sticker rack for curtains and shower curtains. You can use them to wrap law furniture cushions or cut them to fit smaller window. I found curtain panels for 2$ each, 👍
I worked in the bakery at walmart. The items on the discount rack are not actually out of date. They are pulled the last good day and marked down and put on the rack
Vince i learned from The Mac's Life, in southern Mississippi. That if you purchase a gift card and it is hacked, or your money stolen after your purchase on a gift card. Wal-Mart does not refund your loss of the gift card. 😢Yet Wal-Mart knows the cards are being hacked. They are not removing them for sale.😢 ***JUST A WARNING!!!
Anything fresh is way better tasting than frozen, or canned. I love a good fresh tuna, salmon, burger with a salad for a side. I comparison shop prices at Walmart. You can have two brands exactly the same product yet drastically different prices. Stor brand is usually cheaper but not always. Some things I'm very picky on because of taste, storability, freshness etc. Other things don't really matter much.
I found the ground beef from Giant also has a lot of water in it. If I want a good hamburger I go to our local butcher near us. About 7$ ,pound. But that still cheaper than Burger King or Mac D and a lot better I will use regular store when I use ground beef mixed for tacos,spaghetti; etc. It’s sad you can’t even trust you grocery stores. But we live in a not so friendly world today. Everyone is out for themselves. So Sad but so True. God bless us all ❤
My son enjoys convenience store items so just for giggles I put in groceries under $2.00 in the search bar and there are SO many frozen items at $1.00 and under! I filled his freezer! He was so surprised so now he can microwave to his hearts desire..lol..I know it's not the healthiest but on a tiny budget it helps! Thank you for the tips!
I had a friend who worked at Aldi. She said they got half their meat from Walmart. They churn up the close to expired meat from Walmart with a little new meat to make it red again, then stick a tag on it. That's why their meat is cheaper. I've found that Walmarts discounted tag on their food section aren't discounted enough to justify buying it unless you plan to use it right away. And it's not really discounted much. Also, the best way to save money, is to order everything online with your exact shopping list, either pick it up or have it delivered, and then you don't fill your buggy full of stuff that wasn't on your list. I have started ordering everything that isn't fresh produce, cold or frozen products. I get it delivered for free or a small charge like $6. It cost me more than $6 to drive there. I've started doing the same for Sams club. Even though they charge for curb side pickup now, it's still cheaper than me filling the cart full of stuff not on my list.
I think I cried when you poured on the boiling water. We leave the skin on and grill it so the skin becomes crunchy. 😂 just found your channel. I'm a hunter of clearance tags. Our local grocery store clearance down chicken wings and I usually clear their shelf and freeze them. I always walk down the clearance isle too when there. Never know what ya gonna find.
I’ve just subscribed! I check when there truck comes in to all stores and I know to look just before or right after for more discounted stuff because they want to move old stuff.
I love watching your channel. But sad to tell you I am not a Wal-Mart shopper. I used to work there and had my fill. But I did want to tell you that I tried your Chicken and bacon Quesadilla. We just loved it. Had it twice already. I am a big bargain shopper and also grow as much as I can and put up.
2:20 minutes in...I subscribed 😊...I like your style and the way you present yourself Sir.
What time of day are the stickers the cheapest?
I work in a grocery store. The flyers you get in the mail every week... they repeat themselves about every 2-3 months. So buy enough of the sale products to get you through to the next sale..like laundry detergent, soap, cleaning supplies, canned goods etc.
Thank u so much for that info!!

Clearance meat is almost all I buy. I'm either going to cook and eat it, freeze it or pressure can it.
Some of my best steaks are right after the 4th of July and the store ordered to many. I have picked up $50.00 meat for $10.00. Then freeze some too. Shop after holidays.
Exactly! Bulk too, like I will buy a 60 dollar box of bacon, but it is 30 pounds and you can't beat $2 a pound for bacon! I just portion and freeze

Have you ever smoked salmon that has been frozen? I'm considering trying to do that with some I have in the freezer.
I always get the reduced priced bread, take it home and cut it up into cubes and make croutons. It's not crazy savings but it all adds up.
I find the sale bread can mold quickly so I put it in the frig to keep it longer.
I bought frozen garlic bread, cut it up made croutons😌 That’s my snack food❤ I will have to try it with regular bread before it goes bad… Thanks!!
I had never heard that about the boiling water on salmon skin. Thank you so much for sharing and for demonstrating. 😊
Yes! I'll be doing that now, too. Best tip I've seen in a long time.
Enjoy watching your videos keep up the good work

The meat comes in frozen, how long has this meat been frozen?
WOW!!!

Dollar General has one price on the shelf for an item but when they ring it up the price is higher.. Next time you go in there check out the prices..
Yes!
And each dollar general charges their own price
Walmart too...everywhere.... actually you have to watch every single price. Just the other day I got some green chilies and it rang up 11 and some change higher than what it was supposed to.
They have actually been sued in several states. We do not shop at Dollar General for that reason. It's been a long time since I've been in the one in our small town
Yes! I hate this!
I love all of your videos! You could be sitting counting your toes and I'd love it! I do buy from Walmart but usually online . Today I found flash sales and some great items with great deals! I love y'all! Keep on keeping in!
My kids and I loooove those clearance shelves 😁 sweeeet scores 👍👍
Scan your receipts to one of those apps like fetch so you get some of your money back.
Some Walmart bakeries will give you for free or sell you for $1 the frosting buckets. Good bucket and lid for lots of things and is food safe.
Find out what day produce comes in at and buy that day or the next. Try not to shop for fresh stuff out of season.
Check the dates on vitamins, supplements and medicines. Some are close to expiring so look for one with longer shelf life.
All I can think of right now for Walmart and etc.

Fetch is the best! I get a $10 Walmart gift card like every month
Love the channel live in Houston but also about to start my homesteading journey in Tulsa!
Well that's a money saver right there with that water trick. I just looked up Salmon at Walmart. 2lbs of frozen salmon skinless is just about $20 here in North East NY... BUT, the skin ON is only $10 for 2 lbs!!!!!! HUGE savings! I am soooooo going to go get the ones with the skins and try this trick on them! awesome, love it!
Look for a grocery outlet, Aldi, or dented can type of outlet store, Walmart, and Dollar tree with your typical grocery list. Make a row for each store next to the items on your list, Each time you go to the stores write down the costs for each item. Only takes a bit of effort to find out where to shop for which items, or if it's worth the small savings to go to the other store.Try to tie going to these stores only when you have other errands in that area unless you will save/be purchasing enough to make it worth the trip
It is so good to see you back on!!
Good information. Thanks
New subscriber. Okie to Okie, thanks for sharing!
I'm 51 and disabled and soo needed this I am struggling, thank you
I also love buying the clearance bread and put in deep freezer 😊
I used to peel the skin off first before I cooked my salmon. I realized that my salmon would break apart too much in the pan when I removed the skin. I sear the skin on, and it peels right off anyway once the fish is cooked. Great trick, though!
That’s what I found out too some years back I would put my salmon on the grill and cook it skin side down the longest then flip it over and finish cooking it on the meat side!! And the skin comes right off
The skin is the best part.
I save a fortune by not shopping in Walmart at all. We buy one-ingredient foods, in bulk, usually from the Amish farmers near us. Then we grow most of our produce, all of our mushrooms, and keep free-range chickens. I shop at Aldi or Kroger for deals on things we don't grow... like lemons, limes, coffee, wild-caught sockeye salmon, canned salmon, herring, and sardines, olive oil, and coconut oil. We LOVE the crispy skin on a fresh piece of salmon, cooked the restaurant way. We also like the skin and bones in canned salmon for the extra nutrition.
When buying bagged produce, check the weight. You will find they vary a lot and you can get extra product.
You can freeze bread also!
I compared our Sam’s Club vs Walmart. The buildings are directly side by side here. Plus, I’m a low income disabled senior who has to watch each penny. The Arteso?sp bread is $3.98 at Walmart for one loaf, and $4.28 for two loaves together. Activia yogurt is $7.28 for a 12 pak at Walmart, $10.48 for a 24 pak at Sam’s club. I buy the pork tenderloin at Sam’s Club and the butcher there will cut to your specifications. What normally is super fatty and not as tasty at Walmart, Sams is lean and will feed several meals for a big family. Love to do cost comparison always.🥰🤗🙏🏻
I buy a lot of things from Sams no meat. I stock up for winter I like buying in bulk.
IF YOU CAN AFFORD PORK TENERLOIN THEN YOU MUST BE GETTING EXTRA HELP..LOL
Funny how the same people own Sams and Walmart. Sams buys in larger quantities than Walmart and have lower overhead. People just like something to grip about.
I do too, but I make sure I’m saving with more than one item because I found myself wasting gas just to save a couple of dollars when all the savings just went in the gas tank due to running from store to store for separate foods on sale
Not true,
You can usually find pork is a lot cheaper than beef and chicken. @@chuck51561
I am lucky to have a freezer of meat from buying a half cow from a farmer I know and trust so I just buy pork or chicken, on sale. I cannot believe how expensive just the basics are. I am doing more baking and just bought a dehydrator to make healthier snacks and dog treats. Great video, will start checking weights from now on
Love your channel and love your accent. 🤗
I stopped shopping at Walmart 3 years ago. I just subscribed to your channel cause you seem like a nice person and I loved your video.
Nice Looking Hat! I love my Tractor Supply Hat time for me to pick up a few more ! Thank you for this very imformative video. Very helpful. I usually get my salmon from walmart and love this tip cant wait to try it!
How about a 10 lb bag powder milk
That’s why the agriculture Dept should audit ALL STORES!
I like Chicken Livers they want $4.27# for it I went to another grocery store here in Klamath Falls, OR and they were $2.21# even Chicken Hearts and Gizzards were much Higher. I grew up eating Chicken/Turkey Livers, Beef Liver & Hearts in meals in the 1950s through the 1960s my mom would use things to stretch her food bill with 6 kids. That stuff was good eating, my friends hated the Liver. I found a local Diner that makes great Calf Liver & Onions Diner, It brought back memories.
Saute in butter and garlic.
I have had that happen; the weight of meat being less. Not anything drastic such as 8 ounces less, but I have had as much as about 4 ounces less in items such as 10 lb hamburger roll, pork loin, (farm fresh brand?), pork chops, ground pork and ground chicken. Also, sometimes their frozen vegetables are less by an ounce of so. It happens in spurts, nothing constant but has been actually going on for a few years.
Have you ever noticed what happens with eggs? It's like they rotate egg sizes. There are times when large eggs are noticeably smaller than usual for awhile and then after a month-ish, give or take a bit, they're the proper size again.
There's a minimum and a maximum per size weight. Likely it's all the same age laying hens especially with culled flocks from bird flu. They lay smaller eggs at first and gradually make bigger eggs.
Thank-you for sharing your knowledge. ❤
The boiling water on salmon skin does work in case anyone thinks you tricked them. 😊
Thanks for sharing 👍
Also, I agree with your separation of thin cut area from the thicker. To save time I turn the thinnest side out yo the outer edge of the pan where heat is lower than the center. ( not when using a flat top)
I save money by going to Aldi.
I agree for the most part, but eggs at my store were almost .50 more.
@@pbear7814 I don't know where you are, but for the past four months I have been buying amazing eggs from a family that raises chickens in their farm. I get 30 huge eggs for $9 plus $1 delivery fee. The girl even brings them to my table inside the house! There might be alternatives where you live. I live in Miami, Florida 🥰
nice work!!!
News flash the larger package is not always the cheapest, you have to compare both prices, the sticker will show the best price per lb/per unit. I personally never use the self-serve registers, it cuts Americans out of jobs.
All we have is self serve registers at Walmart. Dollar General has gone back to having someone check you out. They musta been loosing too much money.😎
I dont shop Walmart esp meats but you are very helpful. And honest. God bless you. .
Hi fello Okie, I just found your channel, lot's of info. Thank you. I don't buy meat from Walmart, heard and actually saw thing's about their meat that I wouldn't think twice about buying their meat. My granddaughter worked at a Walmart, she told me alot. So I subbed your channel, liked, hit the bell and of course commented.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the tips! I get up early and get to the popular grocery store chain in TX, by 7am. They would have their meat discounts done early, and I could stock up!
11:00 pm. Oct 31. Happy Halloween. I love your show!!!
Our walmart doesn't price match. Curbside has been a blessing.
New sub here👍. Walmart has a yellow sticker rack for curtains and shower curtains. You can use them to wrap law furniture cushions or cut them to fit smaller window. I found curtain panels for 2$ each, 👍
That samon looks delicious ❤
Wow!! Good to know 👀👍
New subscription ❤
One Okie to another, great video.
New subscriber 🎉🎉i really enjoy your content ❤
When did Walmart start price matching again? I thought they quit price matching other stores only they’re online pricing.
I worked in the bakery at walmart. The items on the discount rack are not actually out of date. They are pulled the last good day and marked down and put on the rack
Vince i learned from The Mac's Life, in southern Mississippi. That if you purchase a gift card and it is hacked, or your money stolen after your purchase on a gift card. Wal-Mart does not refund your loss of the gift card. 😢Yet Wal-Mart knows the cards are being hacked. They are not removing them for sale.😢
***JUST A WARNING!!!
Anything fresh is way better tasting than frozen, or canned. I love a good fresh tuna, salmon, burger with a salad for a side. I comparison shop prices at Walmart. You can have two brands exactly the same product yet drastically different prices. Stor brand is usually cheaper but not always. Some things I'm very picky on because of taste, storability, freshness etc. Other things don't really matter much.
I found the ground beef from Giant also has a lot of water in it. If I want a good hamburger I go to our local butcher near us. About 7$ ,pound. But that still cheaper than Burger King or Mac D and a lot better I will use regular store when I use ground beef mixed for tacos,spaghetti; etc. It’s sad you can’t even trust you grocery stores. But we live in a not so friendly world today. Everyone is out for themselves. So Sad but so True. God bless us all ❤
God bless you! Oh thanks for showing me how to get the skin off salmon. Wow! Now you are making me hungry for salmon!! ❤
I work in a grocery store. And I always plan my meals around the weekly ads it saves me money
That salmon looks delicious!
This video got me subbed to your channel in the first few seconds, I love this video.
Weighed the items. Love it lol
Walmart is really a good store. make more videos
Thanks🎉
💙💙🌟💙💙 📷 loved yur channel and God loves you so do I. Spread Love...💙👥💙👥💙👥💙👥🙏😇🙏😇🙏
My son enjoys convenience store items so just for giggles I put in groceries under $2.00 in the search bar and there are SO many frozen items at $1.00 and under! I filled his freezer! He was so surprised so now he can microwave to his hearts desire..lol..I know it's not the healthiest but on a tiny budget it helps! Thank you for the tips!
Great way to check. What time of day were you in the Walmart?
TX girl here 🌸
Our Walmart's here in Kansas quit price matching other stores several years ago. I used to save a lot of money doing that.
Louisiana too.
Tennessee also
me too in Texas
Walmart hasn’t price matched in my area for several years (4 or 5).
No price match here in Ohio
Thank you so much bless you❤😅
I had a friend who worked at Aldi. She said they got half their meat from Walmart. They churn up the close to expired meat from Walmart with a little new meat to make it red again, then stick a tag on it. That's why their meat is cheaper. I've found that Walmarts discounted tag on their food section aren't discounted enough to justify buying it unless you plan to use it right away. And it's not really discounted much.
Also, the best way to save money, is to order everything online with your exact shopping list, either pick it up or have it delivered, and then you don't fill your buggy full of stuff that wasn't on your list. I have started ordering everything that isn't fresh produce, cold or frozen products. I get it delivered for free or a small charge like $6. It cost me more than $6 to drive there.
I've started doing the same for Sams club. Even though they charge for curb side pickup now, it's still cheaper than me filling the cart full of stuff not on my list.
Try the fruits and vegetables, loose and pre- bagged, wrong weights, wrong markings as organic, different prices from shelves to register!
I think I cried when you poured on the boiling water. We leave the skin on and grill it so the skin becomes crunchy. 😂 just found your channel. I'm a hunter of clearance tags. Our local grocery store clearance down chicken wings and I usually clear their shelf and freeze them. I always walk down the clearance isle too when there. Never know what ya gonna find.
I’ve just subscribed! I check when there truck comes in to all stores and I know to look just before or right after for more discounted stuff because they want to move old stuff.
Love the $1 loaves of bread!
When I grocery shop. I always grab the product from the back.
You need to put a pat of butter on top of that cooked salmon and a couple of lemon wedges 😂
I love watching your channel. But sad to tell you I am not a Wal-Mart shopper. I used to work there and had my fill. But I did want to tell you that I tried your Chicken and bacon Quesadilla. We just loved it. Had it twice already. I am a big bargain shopper and also grow as much as I can and put up.
Glad yas are doing well stay safe 💓 😊
