HELP Price Guidance Needed from an Experienced Shopper in Central FL

I am new to couponing and would like help from members in Central FL so that I can even recognize a good deal on items (mostly meat and poultry) when I see it.

If some of you could take the items listed below that you're familiar with and tell me the maximum price (per lb. or per item) where you would consider stocking up on these particular items that would be really appreciated.

I dont want to buy a freezer full of whole chickens at $.89 per lb. only to discover a week later that I could have gotten it for $.59 if I had just waited (of course I know there are no guarantees but it would be nice if I had someone to tell me "hey its usually on sale for $XX or less every couple of mos so just be patient" lol). I appreciate any help you can give even if it's just on a couple of the items listed!
  1. Ground beef 93/07
  2. Ground beef 90/10
  3. Beef Ribeye Steak
  4. Beef Top Sirloin Steak
  5. Beef Roast
  6. Chicken Bone-in Split Breasts
  7. Boneless Chicken Breasts
  8. Boneless Chicken Thighs (Is it cheaper to buy chicken with the skin on and skin it yourself or do you end up paying more in weight to leave the skin on?)
  9. Whole Chicken (Are whole fryers and whole roasters the same price?)
  10. Baby Back Ribs
  11. Boneless Pork Loin Chops
  12. Bone-in Center Cut Pork Chops
  13. Regular sliced bacon in pkg.
  14. Pork Roast
  15. Whole Turkey Breast
  16. Whole Turkey
  17. Spreadable Real Butter
  18. Real Mayonnaise
Its amazing looking back I know, but Ive never really taken notice of meat prices before thinking "well, it might be a few cents cheaper somewhere else but my time and gas are worth the difference." But since Ive started couponing, I of course want to save in every area I can and it makes me ill to think of how much Ive probably overpaid in the past... At least my mindset is changing (thanks to the many stories Ive read here), and the future will be much brighter!

I appreciate all of the input and advice that you savvy couponers are willing to give us newbies, I cant thank you enough! I apologize in advance if this post is in the wrong category or if this info is already available somewhere but I couldnt find it. Angela

Turkey is at its lowest just before Thanksgiving. I don't live in Florida, so I don't know about your stores, but there is a lot of competition here so I have been able to get whole turkey for about $0.49 a pound just before Thanksgiving. I hope others can answer your question about the other meats because I'd like to know this too.

Albertsons is the best place to get boneless chicken breasts. They often have it for $1.69# like this week. That's the cheapest I've seen it anywhere. And remember that you can use the Albertsons meat coupons, that are in their weekly paper, at Publix

Ribs and steaks usually go on sale around like Specails Events...like big sports events, Valentines Day, Mothers Days, Labor & Memorial Day, and 4th of July. Steaks are usually cheaper in the summer monthes because more people "cook out."
Altho Honestly, I really don't buy the meat, I give my mom money every other week to get me meet. Shes a meat manager, and sees all the good deals (and usually grabs me packs of the marked down almost out of dates), and gets me good cuts and stuff.

As far as like bacon, and butter and mayonaise... Publix usually has them on sale all the time, you just have to keep your eye open for the q's.

Also, at Publix on the Turnstyle thing there are usually stacks of coupon booklets, just grab those, and they usually have qs for mayo in them.


And I just learnt something new :) I am going into Albertsons and grabbing their ads for the meat! lol.
