Clearance in grocery stores?

You betcha!  I have found some really great buys lately in my neighborhood grocery stores.  You just gotta look!  Not only are there deep discounts in the bakery area, but also there are some great prices in the meat and dairy departments.  You just have to be sure that you are smart in how to use any fresh or refrigerated items.  So if you buy steaks that are half price, chances are they are nearing their sell-by date.  Same with dairy.  What you may not realize is that sell by and use by dates are not the same.  If you are unsure how they are different, ask your grocer.  Many times, milk will be good for an entire week after the sell-by date. 

Have you ever checked out the clearance items in the cosmetics section?  Many times, items are up to 75% off if they are an overstock, being discontinued, or if they are just unpopular.  My local store, also has an area close to the bakery day-old items that carries other items.  I bought a 12 pack of soda pop for $1.19 because the packaging was torn, some relish for $ .69 because the label was torn and toilet paper 12 pack for $2.59 because of torn packaging.  Check it out!!!!
