I had several errands to run today, so I didn’t plan on spending much time in Food 4 Less today. The plan was to grab a couple of the Reser’s Deli Salads for our Mother’s Day gathering tomorrow. But it turned out that Food 4 Less was having a “Truckload Freight Sale” event, so I stayed a little longer and found a few great deals.

I spent New Years Eve day running around to stores using up coupons that expired at the end of the year and stocking up. My freezer was getting empty but after this run, it is completely stuffed again! I ran to Food 4 Less to get Chuck Roast & potatoes and ended up finding a few other bargains. I’m always amazed at some of the awesome deals Food 4 Less has!

I don’t shop at Food 4 Less very often and every time I go back I wonder why I don’t go there more often. They have a lot of unadvertised deals that really make it worthwhile to stop by and check it out. I was very happy with my buys on this trip.

• Head Cabbage @ $.48 lb., so $.86

• Final Cost $20.17

I finally made it back to Food 4 Less. Every time I go back, I find some sort of deal there that makes me wish I went there more often. But how many stores can a gal go to every week anyway!?

• 2 Bananas $.38 (I know, I know, who buys just 2 bananas)

• Pork Country Style Ribs $.88 lb. (over 7 lbs, so $6.69) I came to Food 4 Less for these ribs. I throw them in the crock pot and a few hours later, presto!

• Final Cost $10.77
