Since I've started shopping frugally, I check four grocery ads without fail every week - two local stores, Aldi and Dillons.
In this case, only two weeks after they had blueberries on sale for 99 cents a carton, Dillons had raspberries - normally $2.99 per carton - on sale for 99 cents. I bought four.
I savored them on top of my fake granola sundae. I ate them raw. They would have been great in a dessert or in yogurt. I should have bought more and frozen them (D'oh!).
So keep your eyes open for a good-for-you treat that is suddenly a little more affordable, stock up and enjoy.

What a bargain! I need to keep my eyes out. I love berries but don't buy them when they're really expensive. I think I could do 99 cents!
ReplyDeleteYes, when they're that cheap I just have to! :)
DeleteYou only bought 4!?! I would've been collecting change from the sidewalk to buy as many as I could! Freeze, make jam, or make lots and lots of yummy treat with it. I wish they had a good sale like that out here on yummy fruits and veggies. I'm going to have to keep my eyes peeled, now that I know it's a possibility.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I know it. *head smack* I should have bought several more and frozen them, next time I'll remember!
DeleteYeah .99 is a good price!
ReplyDeleteAldi and Dillons (Bakers here) are perfect places for fruit! Nice find!
ReplyDeleteThose are two of my favorite stores. We have two local stores that are good too!
