I love being able to get in the stores when they are not so crowded, I can get in and out of the stores and I can concentrate when I don't have to dodge people/carts and around here less crowds happen when it isn't Friday- Sunday. :)

Great job on your shopping! :)

A friend of mine just shared your website with me. I live in Woodland, and do my shopping in Vancouver. I hit Costco, winco, grocery outlet and Gateway Produce. They (gateway produce) have bins of items that maybe have some damaged packaging or are close to the expiration date. A few weeks ago I came home with a box of Clif Bars (8 bars) for $1.00, they were perfectly good. I get cans of food for .50, fiber one bars and toaster pastries for under $2.00 sometimes.
This has been great since we do a lot of traveling with soccer. I can find great snacks (trail mix, etc) for less than the regular stores. Who cares if the box is dented.

Today I went to our local Big Deals and got 2 boxes of Fiber one Toaster pastries for $1.00.

Whoo hoo...always looking for a deal.
