I’m super excited about my trip tonight at Kroger! I just save $36 without even using any coupons! On organic meat no less!
I checked out their organic meat section (not the markdown section) and looked at the expiration dates on the package. There were four organic, grass fed chuck roasts that were expiring tomorrow, but they weren’t marked down. I went to the meat counter to see if they would mark them down. They ended up taking $4 off per pound, bringing the price from $9.99 down to $5.99 lb! He said they would end up throwing them away tomorrow, so he as glad I asked (as was I!)
I’ve mentioned before that manager markdowns is one of the best ways to save on organic foods, especially hard to coupon for items like meats and eggs. But, don’t always rely on the manager markdown section. Always check the expiration dates. If the expiration date is coming up soon, they’ll likely be happy to mark the item down for you so they sell it instead of wasting it. It never hurts to ask!
This is a great tip! I don’t know if I would have thought to ask and it sounds like it definitely paid off!
