Discount Groceries

We used to have friends that we visited in the Bell Rd. and 43rd Ave. area. On the Northwest corner was a great place that we would always stop at. I don't remember the name, but at one point they had more than one store too. I think they were on the news for a news story on discount groceries withing the past 2 months though.

Good luck.

Hi P.,
I shop 95% of the time at Wal-Mart. They do price maching. So I make my list as I go thru the grocery store ads, and put the price of the ad and which store on my list and then I also clip coupons. We can not afford to by the paper, one of my neighbors gets the paper and when he is finished with it I go get it from him. We probably save 100.00 a week shopping this way. Also, Safeway has been having wonderful sales on thier meat! I am talking about spending 30.00 and saving 25-30 dollars!
Hope this helps, there are alot of us on very small incomes!

I buy a lot of produce at the 99 cent only store at 35th Ave and Peoria. They have 5lb bags of potatoes, 3 heads of romaine lettuce, bags of spinach, bell peppers and bags of fruit for $1! You do have to use it within a few days but I shop 2-3 times a week for produce anyway (4 kids... nothing lasts long in the fridge around here).

Also, she can try the FoodValue club at the West Side Food Bank. For $30 you get a box of pantry staples (rice, pasta, soup, peanut butter etc.), a box of meat (chicken bresasts, ribs, hamburger) and two "bonus boxes". The bonus boxes can have anything from breads and cookies to produce or flats of Gatorade. My kids love the bonus boxes because it is usually full of stuff I would consider "treats" and wouldn't regularly buy. You don't have to "qualify" or anything and it is not charity...it just allows the food bank to make money on items that may be expiring soon. You get a deal, they get money to help those truly in need.

I used them for the first time almost two weeks ago and it was great. I got a bunch of fruit and veggies for cheap. $18.65 I think.

hi P.!!!

There is a Grocery Outlet on the NW corner of Bell Rd and 43rd Avenue. It is right next to the 24 Hour fitness. Hope this helps your daughter!

I know it sounds bizzare, but the 99 cents only store on 35th Avenue and Cactus has a bunch of food and it is all really good. We have never had a problem with the food from there. Hope this helps.

Hello! I am sure you've already thought of this or bunches of people will tell ya, but let me add my voice. You can get some crrrazy good deals when you price match at walmart. If you take the time to do coupons, it's even better on certain things. BUT even if you do not use any, there are amazing deals to be had. Off the top of my head, I know that this week you can get milk for .99 and store brand, normal size box of cereal for .99. Just make sure you bring along the ads (dont forget to look at the drugstore ads too) and get a copy of the pricematch policy off of the walmart site if you can. Some cashiers aren't excited about doing this, but if you keep smiling and be really organized and group your prices together, you should be okay. It can be quite a rush to get good deals too. Hey, you take your thrills where you can get 'em, especially on a budget. Good luck to your daughter. Wish I had my M. here!
