Frugal Buy Low Finds!

I love Buy Low! A lot... more than words can describe sometimes!!

I had to do a quick run to Buy Low today to get some food for my hubby, so he doesn't starve over the next 10 days while the kids and I are gone on vacation.

[A totally last minute vacation, that was planned on Sunday... long story!]

So here's what I got for $26.18!!

The sale ended tonight so I won't go into too much detail, but here is what I got for $26.18:

-2lbs Tomatoes -20 Eggs -2 1/2lbs Cauliflower -1lb Pears -2lbs Plums -2lbs Broccoli

-2lbs Fuji Apples -2 Gallons Milk -5lbs Peaches -3 Mangos -2lbs Potatoes -5lbs Bananas

-8lbs Ruby Grapefruit -2lbs Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Yeah! $26.18 and not a single coupon used!!

My husband has enough fruits and vegetables to get him through next Friday without having to worry about going to the store!

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT GRAPEFRUIT!!

MY GOODNESS!!

I won't have a chance to post the weekly grocery deals this week or next week.

THIS is Why I Buy Low!!

Today I had the pleasure of introducing my Mom, and Sister-in-Law to Buy Low. I've gone on and on about how great their prices are on produce and meat for months, now they know why!

How much do you think this cost? Take your best guess.

$37.56!

Here's what I bought today at Buy Low:

-2 Gallons Milk: 2/$3.99

-Boneless Chix Leg Meat (xtra lg family pack): $3.40 ($0.99/lb)

-Boneless Chix Leg Meat (xtra lg family pack): $3.32 ($0.99/lb)

-Boneless Chix Leg Meat (xtra lg family pack): $3.20 ($0.99/lb)

-2 10lb Bags of Potatoes: $2.00 (only 1 pictured)

-Garlic (2 pckgs/5 heads ea): $0.38

-Radishes (2 bunches): $0.52

-Yams (3.28lbs): $1.41

-White Squash (5lbs): $1.67

-Vine Tomatoes (2.6lbs): $2.57 (this was an overcharge. looks like the wrong code was entered. the price was 3lbs/$1.00. I should've only paid about $1.00. I really need to pay more attention to my receipts/sales while I'm still IN the store!)

-Red Onions (3.17lbs): $0.63

-Gala Apples (4.67lbs): $1.56

-Mangos (3): $1.00

TOTAL: $37.56

Now you see why I LOVE BUY LOW so much!! Where else can you get 8 pounds worth of Naval Oranges for ONE DOLLAR? If you'd like to see their weekly deals for this week again, read this. Today was there one day only produce sale, and boy oh boy was it packed!! The parking lot was full to capacity, and there was very little room for movement inside, but it was worth it! I would've spent at least $70 in any other grocery store, even with their sales! I spoke to the cahier, and she said that today was an unusually busy day. Normally the crowd is nowhere near as big as it was today. Perhaps because Easter is only a few days away? 

I love that Buy Low allows me to make healthy meals for my family at a fraction of the cost.We are a family of 6 that eats only fresh fruits and vegetables. The produce I bought today is only about a weeks worth in this household. Save for the potatoes. Thanks to Buy Low's unbeatable prices I can afford to buy and eat as much fresh produce as I want, and still come in under our $300 a month grocery budget. (Yes $300 or below in So. Cal for a family of 6!) 

I've yet to find any store that rivals Buy Low's prices. Not even Winco!! If you live in or around the Long Beach area, and you would like to start saving money, while not compromising on healthy foods, I urge you to try Buy Low! 

It's located across the Forest Lawn Cemetery on Cherry between San Antonio/Del Amo. San Antonio dead ends into Cherry at the Buy Low, so you really can't miss it! There are only 4 Buy Low locations, 3 in Southern California, and 1 in Nevada... go here to see where they are.
