Where I Shop

I shop all over town to get the best deals. Here are my usual destinations for the cheapest, but quality fare.

Bread

Entenmann's Outlet

(91 S. Patterson Ave.)

-Ask for a calendar. It has two coupons every month.

-Ask for any coupons.

-Be sure to get the monthly kids coloring page. It will get you a free box of donuts.

-Get a punch card. You'll get free stuff. One of the days is double stamps. Can't remember.

-Become their fan on Facebook.

Vegetables/Fruits

Santa Cruz Market

(5757 Hollister Ave & )

-Fabulous for Mexican (and other) Veggies & Fruits

-Always cheaper than the grocers except for front page deals

-They have ripe avocados

Trader Joe's

(5767 Calle Real)

-I can't resist TJ's bagged salad. I think it is the freshest and the most reasonable (excluding deals).

Grocery Stores

(Assorted)

-I go and buy the front page items.

Drugstore

Rite Aid

(199 N. Fairview)

-This is my favorite drug store but only because of the Single Check Rebate deals. I'll post more on this. I make around $20 a month here and get all kinds of free stuff.

Walgreens

(5900 Calle Real)

-Honestly, I hate the Register Rewards program, but I love their manager, Robin. She is the only reason I will even attempt to shop the deals at Walgreens.

Costco

(7095 Market Place Drive)

-I buy our actual prescriptions at Costco. When I price matched, they were the cheapest. I also buy Benadryl here. It is like $3 for 100.

Random Things

Costco

(7095 Market Place Drive)

-I buy the following from here: bananas, eggs, milk, rotisserie chicken (it is addictive)
