Grocery Store Sale Cycles

June 4, 2012 Amy 2 Comments

What are the rock bottom prices on grocery store items that are on sale now? What items do you need to stock up on during Summer? We are in transition again for seasons and the store will have different products on sale to stock up on now. The Grocery store sale cycle is now in summer mode. Here are some items to keep a look out for when you can get these items on sale and pair them up with a coupon to get that rock bottom stock up price.

It is grilling time so look for brisket and meats along with other grilling items to go on sale around Memorial Day, July4th and Labor Day. You can always freeze it and then have it whenever you want. I do this for hot dogs a lot. Hopefully you stocked up on chili during the winter so you can have chili dogs too!

Hot Dog and Hamburger Buns – $1.00
Hot Dogs –  $1.00 or lower (I try to buy turkey or No Nitrates) or All Beef
Brisket – $1.49 or lower
Soda – FREE, or $0.25 1 liter
Soda 12pk Cans – $2.50 or less
Chips – B1G1, $1.00
Cheese – $3.00 lb or less
Milk – $1.00 ½ Gallon
Creamers – $2.50 or less
Eggs – $1.99 18 count
Yogurt cups $0.30 or less
Ice Cream – $3.00 or less ½ Gallon
Popsicles – FREE, $1.00 or less (I usually make my own)
Strawberries – $1.00lb
Raspberries – $1.00 6 oz tub
Blueberries – $1.00 6 oz tub
Blackberries – $1.00 tub
Mustard – $0.50 or FREE
Ketchup – $0.50 or FREE
Mayo – $1.00
Grapes – $1.00 lb (Freeze them for a great cold snack)
Corn – $0.25 or less an ear
Zucchini and Yellow Squash – $0.88lb

These are the rock bottom prices in my area. I live in a large metropolitan area. Some of these prices may be higher or lower depending on where you live and the availability of these items. You can use these as a guide until you get to know the grocery store sales cycles in your area to know when to stock up on these items during the summer.

Most grocery store sales cycles are from six to eight weeks depending on the product. The summer grocery sale items listed above may cycle faster at a four week cycle compared to something that is not in season. So keep your eyes open for when the grocery store sale items are at or near these prices and stock up on these items. 

Read my article on how to freeze fresh fruit and vegetables and best storage methods for these fresh items. I know I like that fact that I froze these myself and I won’t have to pay high prices in the winter for frozen berries for any cakes or pies I want to make.

Here are a couple of coupons for a sealer and sealer bags that I use to store my fresh fruit and veggies.

      All those sound so yummy Alison. Glad you are eating these now. You may want to buy some and freeze them to eat them later, too.
