I work in a grocery store. The flyers you get in the mail every week... they repeat themselves about every 2-3 months. So buy enough of the sale products to get you through to the next sale..like laundry detergent, soap, cleaning supplies, canned goods etc.
I use those flyers to plan what I'm going to buy, if it isn't on special, I wait until it is, or get a special coupon worth money off a certain amount or product. I shop at Kroger because it is only 4 blocks from my home.
Meats in pkgs, trays have to have a Tare weight... So your paying for the meat only, not the tray . Example Ground Beef , pork chops, Roast, chicken.... Weights and measurements are always going to Grocery stores to get weights from different meats...
One thing to watch out for at the Walmart clearance rack is they will take items off the shelf put it on the clearance rack but don't mark them down. Make sure what you get from the clearance rack has a yellow sticker with a lower price or you will be paying the shelf price. An employee told me that one.
Some of my best steaks are right after the 4th of July and the store ordered to many. I have picked up $50.00 meat for $10.00. Then freeze some too. Shop after holidays.
Im 63 and disabled, so you know money is always tight. Ive had to start on line shopping from walmart because its hard to get around. The first thing i learned is DO NOT LET THEM SUBSTITUTE unless there is a comparable wal mart brand you want..i have just decided not to let them substitute on my orders at all. For example i would order a pint of blueberries, they said the pint was not available, so they sent me a pound, cost three times as much..and i went in the store after they loaded my groceries..and THERE WERE PINTS OF BLUEBERRIES. So i prefer not to allow substitutions. I never thought about checking weights, but you can bet i will when i shop in the store from now on. Thanks for the tips, and thanks for another video❤
I totally agree. That's for any store I shop at. If they have an option of choosing a specific substitution I will go ahead and choose that for myself. The other thing I do, which some people might think defeats the purpose of ordering for pickup, is plan to have time to go into the store myself when I pick up. There are things I don't trust the employees to pick and that includes fresh meats and produce. I also can't get the discounted items in a pickup order. Last, if they say something is not available I can go in and often find it on the shelf or decide on a substitution based on what I see. I know this wouldn't work for everyone but it's what I often do.
And ALWAYS check your receipt on online orders to make sure the price is accurate. I got charged for rhe larger size of 3 items in one order but they sent the small size. And I've had items I was charged for that I didn't receive. There was a steak, a container of crab meat and a bottle of wine (anniversary dinner) that were missing. Come to find out the delivery driver did some shopping out of my bags. They refunded my money but then I had to go to the store to pick up the items. Aggrevating.
If they substitute an item, they are not supposed to charge you more than the original item you ordered. Using your example, if they only had a pound of blueberries, then it should have been the same price as the pint that you ordered. Hope this helps in the future!
I do almost all of my grocery shopping at Walmart these days. One thing I have learned is that many times, the brand named products are cheaper than the Great Value brand products but people are conditioned to automatically buy the store brand to save money and they don’t notice that the Del Monte tomatoes are cheaper than the Great Value tomatoes. You have to pay attention to the shelf prices.
I just recently noticed that too on eggs...the Walmart brand eggs were about 40 cents more than the name brand for a dozen...I will be checking everything now...
@@TrixieJFerguson Yes, Walmart raised the prices of their own products even though they were making profits before the pandemic. It’s disgraceful how these greedy corporations don’t care about people just themselves.
@@dwslar4ever Before the pandemic, I was able to buy a carton of 18 extra large eggs for $2.48. Now those same eggs at Walmart cost $6.22. They are the Hill Country brand I believe. That price hike is not just inflation. It’s greed plain and simple.
I am Canadian and Walmart sure gouge us. One has to know their pricing. I buy at Walmart for quick things. I do my veggies, eggs, milk and cans at Food Basics. I buy my meat at Metro, Lob Laws or Soby's. I like quality meat. I will buy the odd time at Walmart for meat depends what it is.
Some of those prices increased due to the theft in the other departments. You dont believe crime in those sanctuary citys affect you till your Paying out of your own pocket for THEIR grocerys.
I shop at Walmart weekly either in store,online or store pickup. I don’t trust that Walmarts meat is fresh so I don’t buy their meat unless it’s frozen or rotisserie chicken. I try not to buy anything via store pickup that has to be weighed & stopped allowing substitutions w/online pickup. One time I declined an online pickup substitution but I really needed the item so went into the store to see if I could find a similar item. Lo & behold the item that I actually wanted was in stock. Also, if Im forced to self checkout, I triple bag everything & save $ by using those bags as bathroom garbage bags. Those extra bags are pennies to Walmart but kinda satisfying to me😂
Your Salmon looks delicious. Nice that your friend can trade products. I stay away from Walmart meat and deli.. Thank you for the video and tips. Blessings to you.
Hi from Kansas City! I bought 2 loaves of that reduced French bread at 50 cents a loaf. I took one loaf this morning, sliced it up and made French toast with all of it. I ate a few pieces, and put the rest in the freezer for breakfasts this month. 2nd loaf i made into French bread pizzas. I got 6 nice sized pieces. Great bargain!
I like cooking salmon with the skin on. I love the crispy skin. Cook salmon anyway YOU like! It's a healthy protein to add to your diet. Unfortunately, salmon prices are crazy now. Look for sales! Thanks for the video!
The day shift brings out the "on sale" meat and bread. The bread comes out around 8 am, and the meat around 8:30 or 9 am. They go FAST, so be there at the right time. Also, when you buy bulk, do the math. Sometimes it isn't cheaper. Example: this week they had canned corn .98 a can. A pack of 4 cans was $4.48. Bought individually, 4 cans was $3.92. You gotta pay attention, cause they do that a lot. Also, if you buy something with no price tag on it, check the price before you pay for it or you may be in for nasty surprise when get home and check your ticket. If you buy soda in big bottles, but waste money because it goes flat, squeeze the air out of the bottle and put the cap on tight. It lasts just fine that way. I've also learned to count my pills from the Walmart pharmacy. I've caught them shorting my meds several times.
@@deborahlafountain9595 It seems like since the pandemic a lot of stores meat has been previously frozen. They don't have any signs saying that it was frozen. It's in the refrigerated section thawed out or thawing out You're not supposed to refreeze meat.
For years, there have been weighing stations with scales in multiple areas throughout the produce section. Some even have the digital scales not just the old fashion scales. You don't need to go all the way to checkout to weigh something. Additionally, you have to also account for the weight of the packaging to see if they are scamming on the label. The only way to know that is to actually remove the product from the actual packaging and weigh it. For those who want to test this on a regular basis because you never know which one is an inaccurate label to get you to pay more money. But then if everyone did that people's dirty hands will contaminate the produce. What I highly recommend is to just stop buying pre-packaged meat and cheese and get it sliced fresh at the deli counter and watch them weigh and package your meat and/or cheese. Problem solved.
Put the app on and check prices with your smart phone. First press the app then at the bottom of first page press services then a screen for check price. In the women’s clothing and the clearance isle this can make a big difference.
Walmart too...everywhere.... actually you have to watch every single price. Just the other day I got some green chilies and it rang up 11 and some change higher than what it was supposed to.
They have actually been sued in several states. We do not shop at Dollar General for that reason. It's been a long time since I've been in the one in our small town
I worked at Walmart. For meat deals or day old bread deals, you have to go very early in the morning. I mean just about when it opens UP. Then they have the best meat and the end caps for sale will have the best bread, donuts, etc. However, 'other' end caps where you 'think' they're on sale, aren't. They are the same exact items that they have on the shelves. Here, they re-stock stuff around Wednesday, so you are most likely to find what you want then- But it could vary where you are. If you go online and they are out of stock, Keep trying for a couple of days and things will likely be back in.
I love using my Ibotta to receive rebates. In particular walmart has the most available rebates with the most common items we would all purchase. It's a great way to try new items you haven't tried yet. And just maybe you can get a name brand item for half off...which would be roughly the cost of the off brand. If anything Don't sleep on the household grocery or personal personal care rebates!!
Scan your receipts to one of those apps like fetch so you get some of your money back. Some Walmart bakeries will give you for free or sell you for $1 the frosting buckets. Good bucket and lid for lots of things and is food safe. Find out what day produce comes in at and buy that day or the next. Try not to shop for fresh stuff out of season. Check the dates on vitamins, supplements and medicines. Some are close to expiring so look for one with longer shelf life. All I can think of right now for Walmart and etc. Subscribed.
Nice video! I am a budget shopper. I also have a scale at home and think I will check weights with my own scale. Even the register scales could be wrong. You are great at speaking natural and explaining things. My first time watching you but I think I’ll subscribe and see what else you have to report on. I’ll check out your channel and browse past videos too! Thanks!
Look for a grocery outlet, Aldi, or dented can type of outlet store, Walmart, and Dollar tree with your typical grocery list. Make a row for each store next to the items on your list, Each time you go to the stores write down the costs for each item. Only takes a bit of effort to find out where to shop for which items, or if it's worth the small savings to go to the other store.Try to tie going to these stores only when you have other errands in that area unless you will save/be purchasing enough to make it worth the trip
I love all of your videos! You could be sitting counting your toes and I'd love it! I do buy from Walmart but usually online . Today I found flash sales and some great items with great deals! I love y'all! Keep on keeping in!
Well that's a money saver right there with that water trick. I just looked up Salmon at Walmart. 2lbs of frozen salmon skinless is just about $20 here in North East NY... BUT, the skin ON is only $10 for 2 lbs!!!!!! HUGE savings! I am soooooo going to go get the ones with the skins and try this trick on them! awesome, love it!
I save a fortune by not shopping in Walmart at all. We buy one-ingredient foods, in bulk, usually from the Amish farmers near us. Then we grow most of our produce, all of our mushrooms, and keep free-range chickens. I shop at Aldi or Kroger for deals on things we don't grow... like lemons, limes, coffee, wild-caught sockeye salmon, canned salmon, herring, and sardines, olive oil, and coconut oil. We LOVE the crispy skin on a fresh piece of salmon, cooked the restaurant way. We also like the skin and bones in canned salmon for the extra nutrition.
I used to peel the skin off first before I cooked my salmon. I realized that my salmon would break apart too much in the pan when I removed the skin. I sear the skin on, and it peels right off anyway once the fish is cooked. Great trick, though!
That’s what I found out too some years back I would put my salmon on the grill and cook it skin side down the longest then flip it over and finish cooking it on the meat side!! And the skin comes right off
Hi fello Okie, I just found your channel, lot's of info. Thank you. I don't buy meat from Walmart, heard and actually saw thing's about their meat that I wouldn't think twice about buying their meat. My granddaughter worked at a Walmart, she told me alot. So I subbed your channel, liked, hit the bell and of course commented.
Nice Looking Hat! I love my Tractor Supply Hat time for me to pick up a few more ! Thank you for this very imformative video. Very helpful. I usually get my salmon from walmart and love this tip cant wait to try it!
I have had that happen; the weight of meat being less. Not anything drastic such as 8 ounces less, but I have had as much as about 4 ounces less in items such as 10 lb hamburger roll, pork loin, (farm fresh brand?), pork chops, ground pork and ground chicken. Also, sometimes their frozen vegetables are less by an ounce of so. It happens in spurts, nothing constant but has been actually going on for a few years. Have you ever noticed what happens with eggs? It's like they rotate egg sizes. There are times when large eggs are noticeably smaller than usual for awhile and then after a month-ish, give or take a bit, they're the proper size again.
There's a minimum and a maximum per size weight. Likely it's all the same age laying hens especially with culled flocks from bird flu. They lay smaller eggs at first and gradually make bigger eggs.
I worked in the bakery at walmart. The items on the discount rack are not actually out of date. They are pulled the last good day and marked down and put on the rack
I compared our Sam’s Club vs Walmart. The buildings are directly side by side here. Plus, I’m a low income disabled senior who has to watch each penny. The Arteso?sp bread is $3.98 at Walmart for one loaf, and $4.28 for two loaves together. Activia yogurt is $7.28 for a 12 pak at Walmart, $10.48 for a 24 pak at Sam’s club. I buy the pork tenderloin at Sam’s Club and the butcher there will cut to your specifications. What normally is super fatty and not as tasty at Walmart, Sams is lean and will feed several meals for a big family. Love to do cost comparison always.🥰🤗🙏🏻
Funny how the same people own Sams and Walmart. Sams buys in larger quantities than Walmart and have lower overhead. People just like something to grip about.
I do too, but I make sure I’m saving with more than one item because I found myself wasting gas just to save a couple of dollars when all the savings just went in the gas tank due to running from store to store for separate foods on sale
Thanks for the tips! I get up early and get to the popular grocery store chain in TX, by 7am. They would have their meat discounts done early, and I could stock up!
New sub here👍. Walmart has a yellow sticker rack for curtains and shower curtains. You can use them to wrap law furniture cushions or cut them to fit smaller window. I found curtain panels for 2$ each, 👍
Walmart in Belton , MO. Doesn't do that match pricing anymore . I had no idea they did that 10yrs ago when I mentioned to them on matching a other sale ad they said they stopped along time ago .....
I like Chicken Livers they want $4.27# for it I went to another grocery store here in Klamath Falls, OR and they were $2.21# even Chicken Hearts and Gizzards were much Higher. I grew up eating Chicken/Turkey Livers, Beef Liver & Hearts in meals in the 1950s through the 1960s my mom would use things to stretch her food bill with 6 kids. That stuff was good eating, my friends hated the Liver. I found a local Diner that makes great Calf Liver & Onions Diner, It brought back memories.
Salmon skin is delicious if you season and sear it or crisp it up. I use Penzey’s Florida Seasoned Pepper. And I rarely shop at Walmart, because I get better deals elsewhere. I guess it depends on what is avsilable where you live. For me, Costco, Aldi, Sprouts and Publix are better. The key to Publix is to join the rewards club and shop the sales and the buy one get one free deals. The ads are online, so you can see who has the best deals each week.
Something I've noticed about WalMart is prices vary from one store to another. Those RibEye steaks you showed on sale for $20.71 ($11.92 LB) with a regular price of $30.02 ($15.97 LB) at my store online is not on sale. BUT the regular price showing online at my store is $23.50 ($14.97 LB). Many stores, not just WalMart, raise a price on an item only to show it "on sale" at a later date at the price it was before they raised it. This has been going on for years. If you save your receipts you will clearly see it happening over time.
In our area, stores not along the main state border to state border interstate ate deemed "rural" stores and prices are higher at rural stores; 10 miles from the freeway can make the difference. Also, stores considered to have high shrink rates are rumored to have higher prices.
I have worked retail for over 35 years this is nothing new. Prices could be different from neighborhood's neighborhood.A lot of times a richer the area, the prices are lower the lower the income.The prices can be higher. Where I live in town.Starbucks is a 60 cents more here in the lower inspection than in a richer section.Five miles away by seventy five cents
@@sharonarnold5897I thought going to lower income area store would get better prices but it was quite the opposite. Found the answer to that to be that the lower income area are almost entirely using EBT for buying their groceries and the studies have proven when getting EBT, that people are a lot more out to paying higher prices compared to paying with earned cash.
There seems to be a short window of time that the rotisserie chicken are in stock. They are not available in the morning, of course & they are usually gone before 4pm.
Also, I agree with your separation of thin cut area from the thicker. To save time I turn the thinnest side out yo the outer edge of the pan where heat is lower than the center. ( not when using a flat top)
@@pbear7814 I don't know where you are, but for the past four months I have been buying amazing eggs from a family that raises chickens in their farm. I get 30 huge eggs for $9 plus $1 delivery fee. The girl even brings them to my table inside the house! There might be alternatives where you live. I live in Miami, Florida 🥰
I am lucky to have a freezer of meat from buying a half cow from a farmer I know and trust so I just buy pork or chicken, on sale. I cannot believe how expensive just the basics are. I am doing more baking and just bought a dehydrator to make healthier snacks and dog treats. Great video, will start checking weights from now on
I get my groceries delivered from Walmart. I've saved lots of money that way. They very often deliver the wrong groceries to me, and not only do I get my money back from what I didn't get, but they won't send anyone to pick up the wrong groceries, so it's basically free groceries. You'd be surprised at how often this happens. Although I have to admit it's really frustrating. One of the walmarts were I live, is really, really bad for this. If it happens to me often how many other people is this happening to. I couldn't believe they wouldn't send someone to pick up the wrong groceries I received. I wouldn't think they could afford to do that.
Our small-town stores (Apple Market, Town n Country, Ramey’s offers 5 for $25 items… they include meats, frozen items, and items like Bob Evan’s sides, breakfast sandwiches, etc. Shop local when you can. Be safe, Be prepared, Be Blessed
I had a friend who worked at Aldi. She said they got half their meat from Walmart. They churn up the close to expired meat from Walmart with a little new meat to make it red again, then stick a tag on it. That's why their meat is cheaper. I've found that Walmarts discounted tag on their food section aren't discounted enough to justify buying it unless you plan to use it right away. And it's not really discounted much. Also, the best way to save money, is to order everything online with your exact shopping list, either pick it up or have it delivered, and then you don't fill your buggy full of stuff that wasn't on your list. I have started ordering everything that isn't fresh produce, cold or frozen products. I get it delivered for free or a small charge like $6. It cost me more than $6 to drive there. I've started doing the same for Sams club. Even though they charge for curb side pickup now, it's still cheaper than me filling the cart full of stuff not on my list.
Im retired and have all the same issues you mentioned keeping the pantry stocked on a fixed income is a day to day challenge and Walmart is my go to for most things its where my food dollar will go the farthest simple as that
Our walmart does not mark down products. They let them sit till they expire and then throw them away. They said, in the past, everyone waits for a markdown and never pays full price. So they would never sell at full price. They have insurance to cover spoiled food at full retail value
The biggest things I’ve found that don’t match up to the weight is pre-bagged potatoes and fruits. I always weigh those in the produce dept to make sure I’m getting the best weight possible on those bags.
News flash the larger package is not always the cheapest, you have to compare both prices, the sticker will show the best price per lb/per unit. I personally never use the self-serve registers, it cuts Americans out of jobs.
We use their Walmart plus. Have our groceries delivered to our kitchen. Saves me time and hauling up to my apartment on the 3rd. Floor. Plus I order once a month.
hi new here! yes, have had issues with pre packaged apples, cherry tomatoes (weights-like there adding/or taking away-with the zip lock type bags) and 10 pound bags potatoes-selling old bags (have bad ones in the center of the bag)
Hi Vince, thanks for the video. Have never really thought about meats being the correct weight. I don't go to Walmart often since the nearest one is 20 miles away. I like the Amish stores which are closer. Paper products are normally cheaper at Walgreens, dollar tree or dollar general.
Anything fresh is way better tasting than frozen, or canned. I love a good fresh tuna, salmon, burger with a salad for a side. I comparison shop prices at Walmart. You can have two brands exactly the same product yet drastically different prices. Stor brand is usually cheaper but not always. Some things I'm very picky on because of taste, storability, freshness etc. Other things don't really matter much.
I was a fileter for several years so yes I have taken the skin off of not only salmon but most other varieties you would find in a grocery store as well.

Have you ever smoked salmon that has been frozen? I'm considering trying to do that with some I have in the freezer.
I always get the reduced priced bread, take it home and cut it up into cubes and make croutons. It's not crazy savings but it all adds up.
I find the sale bread can mold quickly so I put it in the frig to keep it longer.
I bought frozen garlic bread, cut it up made croutons😌 That’s my snack food❤ I will have to try it with regular bread before it goes bad… Thanks!!

But then if everyone did that people's dirty hands will contaminate the produce.
What I highly recommend is to just stop buying pre-packaged meat and cheese and get it sliced fresh at the deli counter and watch them weigh and package your meat and/or cheese. Problem solved.
I'm new here and enjoyed this. I learned a few things too! Thank you!!
I really like the pulled Rotisserie chicken. Nicely flavored.
Thanks for tip on removing the skin as well as cutting salmon into different sizes for even cooking. Great advice!❤
Put the app on and check prices with your smart phone. First press the app then at the bottom of first page press services then a screen for check price. In the women’s clothing and the clearance isle this can make a big difference.
Enjoy watching your videos keep up the good work
Sooo happy that I just found your channel!!! ❤❤
Wow this is a amazing channel just found you Thank You😊
Dollar General has one price on the shelf for an item but when they ring it up the price is higher.. Next time you go in there check out the prices..
Yes!
And each dollar general charges their own price
Walmart too...everywhere.... actually you have to watch every single price. Just the other day I got some green chilies and it rang up 11 and some change higher than what it was supposed to.
They have actually been sued in several states. We do not shop at Dollar General for that reason. It's been a long time since I've been in the one in our small town
Yes! I hate this!
Like your videos an your easy going manner....very informative. New subscriber here!
I worked at Walmart. For meat deals or day old bread deals, you have to go very early in the morning. I mean just about when it opens UP. Then they have the best meat and the end caps for sale will have the best bread, donuts, etc. However, 'other' end caps where you 'think' they're on sale, aren't. They are the same exact items that they have on the shelves. Here, they re-stock stuff around Wednesday, so you are most likely to find what you want then- But it could vary where you are. If you go online and they are out of stock, Keep trying for a couple of days and things will likely be back in.
I love using my Ibotta to receive rebates. In particular walmart has the most available rebates with the most common items we would all purchase. It's a great way to try new items you haven't tried yet. And just maybe you can get a name brand item for half off...which would be roughly the cost of the off brand. If anything Don't sleep on the household grocery or personal personal care rebates!!
Enjoyed your video. Like your attitude and your information. Keep it up.
You are such a good cook. Wish you were my neighbor. I enjoy you and your son. That fresh salmon was awesome I bet it taste as good as it looked.
Scan your receipts to one of those apps like fetch so you get some of your money back.
Some Walmart bakeries will give you for free or sell you for $1 the frosting buckets. Good bucket and lid for lots of things and is food safe.
Find out what day produce comes in at and buy that day or the next. Try not to shop for fresh stuff out of season.
Check the dates on vitamins, supplements and medicines. Some are close to expiring so look for one with longer shelf life.
All I can think of right now for Walmart and etc.

Fetch is the best! I get a $10 Walmart gift card like every month
Nice video! I am a budget shopper. I also have a scale at home and think I will check weights with my own scale. Even the register scales could be wrong. You are great at speaking natural and explaining things. My first time watching you but I think I’ll subscribe and see what else you have to report on. I’ll check out your channel and browse past videos too! Thanks!
My kids and I loooove those clearance shelves 😁 sweeeet scores 👍👍
Love the channel live in Houston but also about to start my homesteading journey in Tulsa!
Love all the hacks your doing keep up the great work and God bless you and your son
Look for a grocery outlet, Aldi, or dented can type of outlet store, Walmart, and Dollar tree with your typical grocery list. Make a row for each store next to the items on your list, Each time you go to the stores write down the costs for each item. Only takes a bit of effort to find out where to shop for which items, or if it's worth the small savings to go to the other store.Try to tie going to these stores only when you have other errands in that area unless you will save/be purchasing enough to make it worth the trip
I love all of your videos! You could be sitting counting your toes and I'd love it! I do buy from Walmart but usually online . Today I found flash sales and some great items with great deals! I love y'all! Keep on keeping in!
When buying bagged produce, check the weight. You will find they vary a lot and you can get extra product.
Well that's a money saver right there with that water trick. I just looked up Salmon at Walmart. 2lbs of frozen salmon skinless is just about $20 here in North East NY... BUT, the skin ON is only $10 for 2 lbs!!!!!! HUGE savings! I am soooooo going to go get the ones with the skins and try this trick on them! awesome, love it!
You can freeze bread also!
Amazing content! I shopp @ Aldi. Great deal for the seasonal items!
I save a fortune by not shopping in Walmart at all. We buy one-ingredient foods, in bulk, usually from the Amish farmers near us. Then we grow most of our produce, all of our mushrooms, and keep free-range chickens. I shop at Aldi or Kroger for deals on things we don't grow... like lemons, limes, coffee, wild-caught sockeye salmon, canned salmon, herring, and sardines, olive oil, and coconut oil. We LOVE the crispy skin on a fresh piece of salmon, cooked the restaurant way. We also like the skin and bones in canned salmon for the extra nutrition.
I'm 51 and disabled and soo needed this I am struggling, thank you
Wow that is such a good idea for weighing, I'm going too start doing this, thanks for the video you got my subscription
I used to peel the skin off first before I cooked my salmon. I realized that my salmon would break apart too much in the pan when I removed the skin. I sear the skin on, and it peels right off anyway once the fish is cooked. Great trick, though!
That’s what I found out too some years back I would put my salmon on the grill and cook it skin side down the longest then flip it over and finish cooking it on the meat side!! And the skin comes right off
The skin is the best part.
Love your channel and love your accent. 🤗
Hi fello Okie, I just found your channel, lot's of info. Thank you. I don't buy meat from Walmart, heard and actually saw thing's about their meat that I wouldn't think twice about buying their meat. My granddaughter worked at a Walmart, she told me alot. So I subbed your channel, liked, hit the bell and of course commented.
Thank you so much!
Good information. Thanks
Love your videos more plz
Thanks🎉
Nice Looking Hat! I love my Tractor Supply Hat time for me to pick up a few more ! Thank you for this very imformative video. Very helpful. I usually get my salmon from walmart and love this tip cant wait to try it!
How about a 10 lb bag powder milk
I have had that happen; the weight of meat being less. Not anything drastic such as 8 ounces less, but I have had as much as about 4 ounces less in items such as 10 lb hamburger roll, pork loin, (farm fresh brand?), pork chops, ground pork and ground chicken. Also, sometimes their frozen vegetables are less by an ounce of so. It happens in spurts, nothing constant but has been actually going on for a few years.
Have you ever noticed what happens with eggs? It's like they rotate egg sizes. There are times when large eggs are noticeably smaller than usual for awhile and then after a month-ish, give or take a bit, they're the proper size again.
There's a minimum and a maximum per size weight. Likely it's all the same age laying hens especially with culled flocks from bird flu. They lay smaller eggs at first and gradually make bigger eggs.
Thank you very much. Very helpful information.
It is so good to see you back on!!
I worked in the bakery at walmart. The items on the discount rack are not actually out of date. They are pulled the last good day and marked down and put on the rack
I compared our Sam’s Club vs Walmart. The buildings are directly side by side here. Plus, I’m a low income disabled senior who has to watch each penny. The Arteso?sp bread is $3.98 at Walmart for one loaf, and $4.28 for two loaves together. Activia yogurt is $7.28 for a 12 pak at Walmart, $10.48 for a 24 pak at Sam’s club. I buy the pork tenderloin at Sam’s Club and the butcher there will cut to your specifications. What normally is super fatty and not as tasty at Walmart, Sams is lean and will feed several meals for a big family. Love to do cost comparison always.🥰🤗🙏🏻
I buy a lot of things from Sams no meat. I stock up for winter I like buying in bulk.
IF YOU CAN AFFORD PORK TENERLOIN THEN YOU MUST BE GETTING EXTRA HELP..LOL
Funny how the same people own Sams and Walmart. Sams buys in larger quantities than Walmart and have lower overhead. People just like something to grip about.
I do too, but I make sure I’m saving with more than one item because I found myself wasting gas just to save a couple of dollars when all the savings just went in the gas tank due to running from store to store for separate foods on sale
Not true,
You can usually find pork is a lot cheaper than beef and chicken. @@chuck51561
New subscriber. Okie to Okie, thanks for sharing!
That’s why the agriculture Dept should audit ALL STORES!
Thanks for the tips! I get up early and get to the popular grocery store chain in TX, by 7am. They would have their meat discounts done early, and I could stock up!
When did Walmart start price matching again? I thought they quit price matching other stores only they’re online pricing.
11:00 pm. Oct 31. Happy Halloween. I love your show!!!
Thank you ❤
I also love buying the clearance bread and put in deep freezer 😊
Thank you so much bless you❤😅
New sub here👍. Walmart has a yellow sticker rack for curtains and shower curtains. You can use them to wrap law furniture cushions or cut them to fit smaller window. I found curtain panels for 2$ each, 👍
Our Walmart's here in Kansas quit price matching other stores several years ago. I used to save a lot of money doing that.
Louisiana too.
Tennessee also
me too in Texas
Walmart hasn’t price matched in my area for several years (4 or 5).
No price match here in Ohio
Thank you!
I dont shop Walmart esp meats but you are very helpful. And honest. God bless you. .
Our walmart doesn't price match. Curbside has been a blessing.
I stopped shopping at Walmart 3 years ago. I just subscribed to your channel cause you seem like a nice person and I loved your video.
Thank You!!
Thank you I well be sure to keep a eye out.
Walmart in Belton , MO. Doesn't do that match pricing anymore . I had no idea they did that 10yrs ago when I mentioned to them on matching a other sale ad they said they stopped along time ago .....
I like Chicken Livers they want $4.27# for it I went to another grocery store here in Klamath Falls, OR and they were $2.21# even Chicken Hearts and Gizzards were much Higher. I grew up eating Chicken/Turkey Livers, Beef Liver & Hearts in meals in the 1950s through the 1960s my mom would use things to stretch her food bill with 6 kids. That stuff was good eating, my friends hated the Liver. I found a local Diner that makes great Calf Liver & Onions Diner, It brought back memories.
Saute in butter and garlic.
Salmon skin is delicious if you season and sear it or crisp it up. I use Penzey’s Florida Seasoned Pepper.
And I rarely shop at Walmart, because I get better deals elsewhere. I guess it depends on what is avsilable where you live. For me, Costco, Aldi, Sprouts and Publix are better. The key to Publix is to join the rewards club and shop the sales and the buy one get one free deals. The ads are online, so you can see who has the best deals each week.
Something I've noticed about WalMart is prices vary from one store to another. Those RibEye steaks you showed on sale for $20.71 ($11.92 LB) with a regular price of $30.02 ($15.97 LB) at my store online is not on sale. BUT the regular price showing online at my store is $23.50 ($14.97 LB). Many stores, not just WalMart, raise a price on an item only to show it "on sale" at a later date at the price it was before they raised it. This has been going on for years. If you save your receipts you will clearly see it happening over time.
In our area, stores not along the main state border to state border interstate ate deemed "rural" stores and prices are higher at rural stores; 10 miles from the freeway can make the difference. Also, stores considered to have high shrink rates are rumored to have higher prices.
I have worked retail for over 35 years this is nothing new. Prices could be different from neighborhood's neighborhood.A lot of times a richer the area, the prices are lower the lower the income.The prices can be higher. Where I live in town.Starbucks is a 60 cents more here in the lower inspection than in a richer section.Five miles away by seventy five cents
@@sharonarnold5897 Yup! The prices are pretty much based on what the consumer is willing to pay !
@@sharonarnold5897I thought going to lower income area store would get better prices but it was quite the opposite. Found the answer to that to be that the lower income area are almost entirely using EBT for buying their groceries and the studies have proven when getting EBT, that people are a lot more out to paying higher prices compared to paying with earned cash.
Great way to check. What time of day were you in the Walmart?
There seems to be a short window of time that the rotisserie chicken are in stock. They are not available in the morning, of course & they are usually gone before 4pm.
I work in a grocery store. And I always plan my meals around the weekly ads it saves me money
The boiling water on salmon skin does work in case anyone thinks you tricked them. 😊
Thanks for sharing 👍
Also, I agree with your separation of thin cut area from the thicker. To save time I turn the thinnest side out yo the outer edge of the pan where heat is lower than the center. ( not when using a flat top)
I save money by going to Aldi.
I agree for the most part, but eggs at my store were almost .50 more.
@@pbear7814 I don't know where you are, but for the past four months I have been buying amazing eggs from a family that raises chickens in their farm. I get 30 huge eggs for $9 plus $1 delivery fee. The girl even brings them to my table inside the house! There might be alternatives where you live. I live in Miami, Florida 🥰
New subscriber 🎉🎉i really enjoy your content ❤
I am lucky to have a freezer of meat from buying a half cow from a farmer I know and trust so I just buy pork or chicken, on sale. I cannot believe how expensive just the basics are. I am doing more baking and just bought a dehydrator to make healthier snacks and dog treats. Great video, will start checking weights from now on
I get my groceries delivered from Walmart. I've saved lots of money that way. They very often deliver the wrong groceries to me, and not only do I get my money back from what I didn't get, but they won't send anyone to pick up the wrong groceries, so it's basically free groceries. You'd be surprised at how often this happens. Although I have to admit it's really frustrating. One of the walmarts were I live, is really, really bad for this. If it happens to me often how many other people is this happening to. I couldn't believe they wouldn't send someone to pick up the wrong groceries I received. I wouldn't think they could afford to do that.
Our small-town stores (Apple Market, Town n Country, Ramey’s offers 5 for $25 items… they include meats, frozen items, and items like Bob Evan’s sides, breakfast sandwiches, etc. Shop local when you can. Be safe, Be prepared, Be Blessed
Thanks
Wow!! Good to know 👀👍
I had a friend who worked at Aldi. She said they got half their meat from Walmart. They churn up the close to expired meat from Walmart with a little new meat to make it red again, then stick a tag on it. That's why their meat is cheaper. I've found that Walmarts discounted tag on their food section aren't discounted enough to justify buying it unless you plan to use it right away. And it's not really discounted much.
Also, the best way to save money, is to order everything online with your exact shopping list, either pick it up or have it delivered, and then you don't fill your buggy full of stuff that wasn't on your list. I have started ordering everything that isn't fresh produce, cold or frozen products. I get it delivered for free or a small charge like $6. It cost me more than $6 to drive there.
I've started doing the same for Sams club. Even though they charge for curb side pickup now, it's still cheaper than me filling the cart full of stuff not on my list.
Im retired and have all the same issues you mentioned keeping the pantry stocked on a fixed income is a day to day challenge
and Walmart is my go to for most things its where my food dollar will go the farthest simple as that
Our walmart does not mark down products. They let them sit till they expire and then throw them away. They said, in the past, everyone waits for a markdown and never pays full price. So they would never sell at full price. They have insurance to cover spoiled food at full retail value
The biggest things I’ve found that don’t match up to the weight is pre-bagged potatoes and fruits. I always weigh those in the produce dept to make sure I’m getting the best weight possible on those bags.
News flash the larger package is not always the cheapest, you have to compare both prices, the sticker will show the best price per lb/per unit. I personally never use the self-serve registers, it cuts Americans out of jobs.
All we have is self serve registers at Walmart. Dollar General has gone back to having someone check you out. They musta been loosing too much money.😎
We use their Walmart plus. Have our groceries delivered to our kitchen. Saves me time and hauling up to my apartment on the 3rd. Floor. Plus I order once a month.
Try the fruits and vegetables, loose and pre- bagged, wrong weights, wrong markings as organic, different prices from shelves to register!
God bless you! Oh thanks for showing me how to get the skin off salmon. Wow! Now you are making me hungry for salmon!! ❤
hi new here! yes, have had issues with pre packaged apples, cherry tomatoes (weights-like there adding/or taking away-with the zip lock type bags) and 10 pound bags potatoes-selling old bags (have bad ones in the center of the bag)
I always sniff bags of potatoes to see if anything smell off.
When I grocery shop. I always grab the product from the back.
Always weight the pre packaged of things like apples and potatoes. Many times they are over the said weight.
I came here to say the same thing. I got a 5lb bag of apples that weighed 5½ lbs on the scale. Well that's an extra small apple right there.
Shop the sales and stock up on good deals. Shop sales during holidays. Look for mark downs after the holidays. Digital coupons can save dollars too.
Hi Vince, thanks for the video. Have never really thought about meats being the correct weight. I don't go to Walmart often since the nearest one is 20 miles away. I like the Amish stores which are closer. Paper products are normally cheaper at Walgreens, dollar tree or dollar general.
Anything fresh is way better tasting than frozen, or canned. I love a good fresh tuna, salmon, burger with a salad for a side. I comparison shop prices at Walmart. You can have two brands exactly the same product yet drastically different prices. Stor brand is usually cheaper but not always. Some things I'm very picky on because of taste, storability, freshness etc. Other things don't really matter much.
I was a fileter for several years so yes I have taken the skin off of not only salmon but most other varieties you would find in a grocery store as well.
