      After you clean that big pan I'd love to have that we bought one in the late 90s it has lost its handle and we have bought pots and pans since we will throw ours away and go dig it out of the trash it's called old reliable and the kids are fighting over it if we die. It's nonstick and it's the best skillet we have never managed to find a better one in 30 years lol

    I mentioned to a lady before Christmas, that what she was buying, was way on sale, way cheaper at another store not far from the store we were in, she just Ok, I just shop here????? I just thought, Oh well if you want to pay more, go ahead, but I'm not. Either they don't care or don't get it!!! But she just didn't care.

    We switched up our spending habits June '22. Since then, we have been buying meat in quantity at good to excellent prices when we find it on sale or come across it. We fill our tiny chest freezer and generally don't replentish until after eating down then defrosting it. By the time the freezer is defrosted, we have a fair amount of meat restocking money so we can buy in quantity when we come across a good price while keeping our eyes open. Hamburger has been a treat food for us for some time. - This is how we've been able to ample meat.

    I got Scotch tape years ago at Target for 90% off after Christmas and I gave it away here and there and now mine is almost gone also. Such a nice practical buy!! I had some people wonder why I would buy so much tape, but why not -- so many uses!

    Great finds! Last week I found an end cap full of granola bars, boxes of pop tart bites and s'more bars for $.94, yes I know sugar, but 7 kids and busy with sports I keep them in my van for after games, cheaper then stopping for snacks. Then I found 2kg of powdered juices for $1.94! I stocked up for church and stock pile, good when we are sick or emergencies, hosting, lake this summer. They are regular $15 (Canada) the funny this is people just walk by these sales and don't even look. I don't get it, so I don't feel bad stocking up, no one is paying attention to clearance!

    The fabric is beautiful, love it. Im like you, i do not buy meat unless it is on sale, period. Spent 105.00 other week & the only thing that wasnt on sale which i purchased was carrots.,but it was a good price also. I raised 3 children plus an x , grew a garden & canned. Watch the sales, we are very much alike. I dont have $$$ to waste. You & your Mom are so great together.

    When you compare the cost of using meat on sale with eating out, you’re also saving money. You’re eating healthier & have leftovers, depending on how many people you’re feeding. If you’re eating fast food, you typically don’t have any leftovers.

    Use Barkeep's Friend on the bottom of the pan, it works great. I got an awesome BIG steamer/wok stainless steel pan for 5.00, need to be cleaned inside and out like that. Soaked the inside for quite awhile, but between Bar Keepers friend and an SOS pad, and my metal scrubber, it looks great, inside and out.

  • @ameliainpdx1775

    When I was working, I figured how much of my hourly would be taxes (1/3 of your hourly here in Portland, Oregon) i.e. $15.00 hr less 1/3 of that taxes is $5.00 so take home was $10.00 an hr & then when buying something figure how many hours you had to work to purchase that item.
    Makes it so you put a lot of things back on the shelf instead into my cart.

    Tawra, have you ever been able to take a bottom round or eye of round roast and cook it so that the meat can be sliced for roast beef sandwiches? Every time I try to make a nice roast for slicing for sandwiches ... so i wait for the deals at the deli and let them slice it but it always looks medium rare and if we warm those up they are tough! so. do you have a solution to making a roast into sliced roast beef for sandwiches and philly steak?

    Insight on a managerial job, if the workers don't do the moving when asked, the manager, a salaried person, does not work by the hour, can and should do the work! Why do i say this, i say this because i know a manager of several stores throughout the last 25 years and this is what they do! They do the work that is necessary even if they are the boss. the "i don't know why they haven't moved it " is a cop out!

      @heatherrowe2979 ปีที่แล้ว

      I live in Alberta as well and you're right. We don't see 90% off here. This year after Christmas clearance sales were the worst. However, I did luck out today when I went, so maybe you can as well. They had the Method Christmas hand soaps for 70% off, but for whatever reason one of them was discounted to 84 cents. They had an area in the personal care section of items marked to 75% off. Various items. There is clearance in the rest of the personal care area. All aisles. The prices are electronic now so its difficult to look. I only bought what I needed. 1 litre Live Clean hand soap refill for $4. That's half price. Also got a Dove shampoo and conditioner for half price. Lots of women's clothing is 70% off. I got a $36 shacket for my daughter for $10, and $24 two piece flannel pj's for $9. That's as good as its going to get here. They just marked the items down in my store so maybe you'll have some luck if you need stuff.

    I don't buy foods when they're above my price point. Haven't seen any beef for under $5/ lb in a LONG time, so we just haven't had beef since we ran out of beef in our freezer. It's that simple. I don't understand why people can't grasp that concept.

    Tawra, when I suspect I will get lip, I am not beyond taking the sign that says the price, even if they have to put it back. If they say why, I say to prove it was there. But now I would probably take a photo, first. And I will let them know I will be happy to pass that photo to corporate if they won't honor it. OH, they will grumble and act like they are doing you a favor, and that you are a Karen, but they are being dishonest, and hoping they can get away with it.
