31 Days to Slash your Grocery Spending

Today is Day 20 of 31 Days to Slash your Grocery Spending: Pre-Holiday Grocery Sales

Is there a single holiday that doesn’t revolve around food? Think about it. There’s the Thanksgiving turkey, the Easter ham, Christmas cookies, Memorial Day & July 4th picnics….you get the picture.

Grocery stores completely capitalize on this and offer super low prices on holiday favorites in the weeks leading up to the holiday. It’s a competitive time and the stores are fighting to get you in their door.

The pre-holiday sales are a great time to stock up on the delicious holiday foods.

Some examples of holiday sales:

  • Low prices on hamburgers, hot dogs, and rolls before the summer picnic holidays, such as Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day.
  • Low prices on ham, baking supplies, and candy before Easter.
  • Low prices on sausages before St. Patrick’s Day.
  • Canned pumpkin before Halloween and Thanksgiving.
  • Pork and sauerkraut before New Year’s Eve…although that might be a central PA thing 😉
  • FREE turkey or ham offer with a minimum purchase over a period of time before Thanksgiving.
  • Extremely low prices on baking supplies, like sugar, flour, brown sugar, chocolate chips, etc during the Thanksgiving – Christmas time period.

I stock up on as many of these that my pantry and freezer can handle. Wegman’s has offered 5 lb bags of flour for .99 during the Christmas holiday. I always buy the limit was 5 bags per customer and store them in the freezer.

When our favorite hamburger & hotdog rolls go on sale before the summer holidays, I stock up and store in the freezer. This brand doesn’t go on sale very often and we’re pretty picky about our rolls.

When ham is super cheap before Easter & Thanksgiving, I buy one or two to bake and store in 2 cup portions for easy ham dinners. 

And a FREE or low cost turkey = many meal ideas in the freezer.

These are just a few examples, so be sure to scan the pre-holiday sales flyers to see what bargains you can buy and stock up on.

What food deals have you found during the holidays? Let us know in the comments.
