Grocery Store Tip

I think the following might apply to several grocery store chains but I know that it is true at Harris Teeter stores. It seems to me someone at Publix confirmed this also.

When you see items on sale that end in 4, i.e $1.94, $2.64, etc. -- these are items on the way out the door. Some may be discontinued or the manufacturer may be changing labeling/packaging and some of the products maybe be expiring soon. I have seen some really good mark downs and when used in conjunction with a coupon, you can snag a really good deal.

I am not talking just about food items either - one day take a walk around the store and look at all the mark downs. Once these items get low enough, they usually go in a buggy at the front of the store as clearance. These items are not advertised -- this is something you will have find on your own.

Maybe this applies to Target as well. I will have to take notice!
