I’ve recently been out doing some heavy-duty grocery shopping (2 ½ hours at one store!) and discovered something new. See, after all these years, I’m still discovering something new at the grocery store….
These shopping trips are really “information gathering” trips, in preparation for my classes to be presented this spring—there will be one class on buying groceries.

Anyway, I discovered two of our local stores (haven’t researched the other two yet) have two grades of store-brand items! One is inexpensive, and the other is cheap. I don’t know why I hadn’t noticed it before, but it just didn’t connect until I started writing it down in a notebook. I’m putting together a Price Book to demonstrate at my classes. I’ve always kept my price book in my head, especially now that there’s not so many people to feed at home….so to do it right, I have to work on it a little at a time and I didn’t want to be doing it at the last moment.
An example: At SuperSaver, Kraft Miracle Whip was on sale for $2, but the Best Choice brand was $1.98 and the Always Save Brand was $1.58.
Check your own favorite stores and get back to me—it will help with my research! Do your stores have two grades of store brand items?
Love, Mom
