My buy price

I often have people ask me how do you know when something is a good deal. Well I usually only put the things I think are deals on my blog and skip the other stuff. I may not purchase it all as I may not need it all. Of course I NEVER pass up FREE or MONEYMAKER stuff, but I will pass on some deals depending on my budget and whether or not my stockpile is low.

I thought it might be helpful to let you know some of my "buy" prices especially on meat and other things I buy regularly:

Milk 2.99 or less per gallon

Organic Milk 4.99 or less per gallon
(I will get it at Aldi or Costco if I need it and can't find a sale)

Loaf of whole wheat bread $1 or less a loaf
(I will get it at Flowers bakery thrift store if I need it and can't find it on sale. When I do find it on sale I buy a lot and freeze it)

ground turkey .99 or less a pound

london broil 1.99 or less a pound

ribeye 4.99 or less a pound

chuck roast 1.99 or less a pound
(I cube this up for stew meat)

Stew meat 1.99 or less a pound

Prime Rib Roasts 6.99 or less a pound

Whole beef tenderloin 7.99 or less a pound
(you can have your butcher slice them into filet mignon for free)

Sirloin Tip Roast 3.49 or less a pound

Cube Steak 1.99 or less a pound

Boneless Skinless chicken breast 1.99 or less a pound

Whole chickens .59 or less a pound

Chicken Breast (bone in and skinned) .99 or less a pound

Whole Pork Loin 1.99 or less a pound
(I don't buy pork chops, I just have the butcher cut my whole loin into chops and roasts and then re-package them and freeze them when I get home)

Shrimp 3.99 or less a pound

Sirloin Tip Roast 3.49 or less a pound

Salmon 2.99 or less a pound
(I've been buying the 2.99 salmon filets at Bi-Lo lately)

Scallops 4.99 or less a pound
(usually when they are B1G1F is the only time you can get this price)

Deli Turkey 4.99 or less a pound

Deli Ham 4.99 or less a pound

Deli Cheese 4.99 or less a pound

Shredded Cheese 1.99 or less

Iin reference to your question about the Wellness 360 button, I copied and pasted it from their website and then added the link.

I really enjoy the site!
