One of the local stores I decided to begin to do ad matches for is Piggly Wiggly, one of the independently run stores within the Food Giant family. Each Food Giant store operates independently, and there are many stores within this family.  Make sure to take a look at your ad to see if it is the same as the one I am matching, as the products and prices may be quite different.

If you’d like for me to do matches for other stores in your area, send me an e-mail at makingcentsoutoflife *at* gmail *dot* com.  If I can get my hands on an ad I’ll be happy to oblige.

Piggly Wiggly stores take manufacturers coupons.  They do not double coupons.

There was more to the ad than I anticipated!

Shopping in a small town is a challenge when you want to save a lot of money because you can’t get double coupons, or BOGO sales or many of the other gimmicks offered by bigger chains that we love, but as you can see some of these prices aren’t bad with coupons.  If you don’t have a giant stash the printable coupons are a great place to start!

Tips:

1.  Be on the look out for clearance markdowns on near-expiration items and discontinued items.  You can still use coupons but you’ll save up to 75%!

2.  Ask the butcher when he does the markdowns on meat.  Do the same at the deli and produce department.   This can net you HUGE savings!

Michael and I used to shop at Southern Family Market in Guntersville before it closed; it was our favorite store and we were almost sick when it closed!  The sales there were awesome, but I’m not talking about the day-to-day sales.  They DID double coupons but the best things were deals on meat, cheese, and produce.  We used to get $4 bags of salad for under $1, and chicken breasts for less than $1.50 lb. which is outrageously good.  I highly recommend finding out when these items are marked down in your local store and plan your shopping trip accordingly.  If it is not your normal shopping day, change your routine to run errands that day to make up for using the gas, unless of course you live super close (and I’m jealous!).
