Need a simple tip that could save big bucks in the checkout lane? Pay attention! Just this afternoon as I was keeping careful watch over my grocery prices, I nearly gasped when my pound of strawberries rang up at just $1.00. That’s the best price I’ve seen in a year! And… it certainly wasn’t advertised that way. The shelf tag said $2.00.
Wanna know who ended up with 13 pounds of strawberries instead of 1 today? That’d be me!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some strawberries to clean and freeze.
Head on over to Life as Mom for more frugal tips and tricks.
Great catch! Have fun cleaning!
What a great deal! We so love strawberries but it’s extremely rare for us to find them at such a great price. My 6-year-old would be thrilled; I think she could eat a pound or so per meal!
WOW!! I wish they’d have them like that where I live (Louisiana).
I went to Walmart and got Cherries. I didn’t watch when the cashier rang them up and they rang up as $4.38! Sign said $2, and didn’t have the per pound behind it!
I didn’t notice it until I was home and looked at the receipt!
So you really do have to watch the prices.
Yeah! You found your strawberries to freeze!

This happened to me at Meijer a while back! Sign said $2.50 (sale), but they rang up at $1 per lb!!!! I stocked up then and then scored for the SAME price at a local market a few weeks ago! HOORAY FOR STRAWBERRY LIMEADE SLUSHIES!!!
Wow! That’s a great deal. Congratulations.
Whatta deal! I love when stuff like that happens.
Suh-weet!
Where was this at? LOL!
