Late January best bets at the grocery and drugstores
Picking out some trends from the grocery and drugstore sales fliers that were in the Saturday and Sunday papers Jan. 16 and 17:
- Remember that the third and fourth week of the month has been pretty good lately for grocery sales. Many of the stores where families on a budget shop are noticing steep swings in customer traffic around pay cycles and food stamp weeks; third week of the month is one of the slow times and they’d like to get your attention.
- Party foods are showing up on the promotions because of Super Bowl and the Daytona 500 in February. Even if you aren’t hosting the party, you might be asked to contribute some of the goodies.
- Valentine’s Day promotions have started. Before you go shopping, make a list of what you plan to buy. Otherwise that all-too-cute stuff will somehow find its way in your shopping cart, and then how much money did you save?
