I went to one of the new Winco's yesterday and had a blast! We had them when we lived in ID and WA, and I've missed them ever since. They don't have ads every week (their only down side), and you have to bag your own groceries (which could be an up side if you're particular about how things are bagged), but the prices are so cheap! You have to go through the sale aisle upon entering the store, to get to the rest of the store, but those sale prices are incredible! And with coupons on top of the sale prices, AMAZING things can happen!
Here are some of the best deals I got yesterday, partly because of their big grand opening event:
-corn syrup 1.88 (which I just bought at Walmart for $4!)
-hot dogs .68
-bologna .88
-bananas .18/lb. (with limit of 8 lbs. I think)
-kiwi, 1# bag (8 ct.) .98
-red bell peppers, .48
-4# frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts 4.78
-1 lb. baby carrots .78
-my fave chili (Nalley Walla Walla Onion) .88
-deli meats for less than $2/lb.
-water chestnuts .48
-12 oz. bacon .98
-Aim toothpaste .58 (with free travel size attached)
-32 oz. Tillamook cheddar 3.98
-Green Giant canned veggies .28 (limit 4, darn)
-Betty Crocker fruit snacks .98 (and I had coupons on top of that!)
-Capri Sun 10pk .98 (limit 2)
-10#bag potatoes .68
-24pk water bottles 1.98 (limit 1)
I'm totally in love with their bulk section, which is very big. How come other stores don't do that?!?!? Anyway, I've always been tempted to try different recipes I come across that involve crystallized ginger, but at $5 for a little tiny jar, I've never felt it's worth it. But I got about a cup of it for 65 cents at the bulk place. I was just so amazed at all they have! I wanted to write down all the different types of flours there, but didn't have time, plus there were a ton of people. I know, I'm weird.
Don't you just get a high from great deals? As soon as I got home and was unloading, I had to tell my sister Laurel all about it. Of course, she doesn't really know what things cost, so I had to explain. "I just went to Walmart and got the name brand corn syrup for $4, but this generic from Winco was less than $2!!" Jeromy, of course, has had years of training to show me his nod-and-smile face when I get home from an awesome grocery trip.
So I had fun, to say the least, and I highly recommend a trip in the near future (especially if you got flyer coupons in the mail). AWESOME!!!!

Awesome!!!! I love a good shopping trip.
Sounds like Superstore up here. They just know how to do bulk! I need Utah shopping. Did you know that all dairy is "regulated" in Canada and it more than triples the price?!? It really stinks. Seriously, I bought the same cheese at Costco in Montana and Calgary $8 in Montana, $26 in Calgary. It's RETARDED!! Regardless, Bananas are way cheaper there too. It's making me want to come visit you again. You better be careful....
Bananas for 18 cents a pound! Wow!
I love the nod and smile from Jeromy - Kevin's compliment of choice is "wow, you're amazing" - which doesn't really have the same effect the 20th time in a monotone sort of voice. :) oh well, we know they appreciate us, right?! :)
