What Goes on Sale and What to Buy on Clearance in April

on
After really reading the grocery store sales fliers on line instead of just skimming them, I started to notice seasonal sales patterns, especially around holidays,  especially industry holidays like Earth Day. When I shop seasonally,  I’m able to keep my family in fresh fruit and vegetables for less when nothing is growing locally yet.  Shopping the April seasonal store sales doesn’t just apply to food. Many household items only go on sale in April too. It is a good time to start looking for that perfect Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or Graduation gift because the prices will be higher on those items in May and June. If you are a thrift or consignment sale shopper, April is the time to hit the stores! Thrift store donations increase in April when people start their Spring cleaning. For extra savings, pair the sale with a coupon from my  printable online coupon database  (affiliate link) because money saving coupons often follow national sales cycles too! April Seasonal

I Learned an Important Lesson at Whole Foods Today

on
Oh Whole Foods you are a blessing and a curse.

Love it or hate it, Whole Foods is a good place to shop if you have a food allergy since they seem to carry every variation of traditional foods you are allergic to or need a substitute for a nontraditional diet.

I don't shop there often b but I will shop there on occasion because there are a few things we use  I can only get at Whole Foods. 




When I learned a new shopping area was going to include a Whole Foods, every time I drove past it I  silently urged them to 'build faster'.


Recently the store opened. I haven't had a chance to check it out. I asked Husband if he needed anything while I headed out the door to my morning Piyo class.  Were running low on his cow's milk and completely out of banans.

What a good excuse to go to Whole Food! Grab my two things, check some prices on  some bulk bin items, wander the store a bit, and zip home, right?

I learned something today.

It isn't a good idea to go to a store that sells food after Piyo class.

Oops.

Planks, crunches, and ab work make me hungry for anything that isn't nailed down. I had to stop myself from face planting into a bag of chips in the store. Hippy chips but still.

 I to the store for just milk and bananas remember?

 I knew this was going to happen.
 


At least I now know it happened sooner rather than later.
