Trip to A&P
Posted 04-07-2008 at 03:54:15 PM by BargainSeeker
I have three grocery stores I frequent: Shoprite, Pathmark and A&P. All 3 are minutes from each other and home, and the priority of visits is in this order. At A&P I basically buy the loss leaders. However, when they offer triples, I buy more. They have triples this week, and even though they are pricier and hike the prices during triples, one can still find pretty decent stuff. I went twice, came home with a shopping car filled to the rim. This store was renovated a little over a year ago, and it is absolutely lovely. Immaculate, no clutter down the aisles, everything in it's place, bright, and a great deli and bakery. Then there are the gadgets. As in kitchen gadgets. Lots of colorful gadgets. Did I mention I love gadgets? Yep. Then there are the gourmet foods. Lots of gourmet foods. Did I mention I also love gourmet foods? That's a double yep! And no, I did not spend what I saved on these things! Well . . . . . maybe a few delicacies!!
So the total for both trips was about $173 and after coupons I spent about $100. Not one of my best, but I bought so much, my youngest son has bags waiting for him on his next visit home. I am now waiting for Shoprite to triple. I was told by a Shoprite cashier it will happen soon. It's a good thing I shop for other people and donate. Space is at a premium. I've started stockpiling in my car!
