"Helping You Save Money"

Apparently, the Poozils are helping me save money... checking the Torah Times for sales.


But really, I'm always on the lookout for sales and coupons... preferably both!
Lately I've lucked out with my grocery store. They have a program where they give out "lotto" tickets with every purchase of $50 and up. And since our Shabbos shopping is always at least that amount, I get a coupon every time. You have to scratch to reveal the discount, which you can use towards your next purchase.
Sometimes it's for a free kugel, free case of seltzer, or free sandwich and drink. Other times you can get a free item up to $4. Some cards reveal a certain percent off your purchase. I have only ever received 3%, 5% and 10%. I heard it can go up to 50%!!


I actually just had a 10% coupon last week. I bought things ahead of time, to take advantage of the discount. I got juices for this Shabbos and the next one. Extra canned foods, a couple of extra bottles of milk for the freezer...
I also lucked out with chicken- they sell the freezer chicken for 50% off. Well, this time they had just put 24 hour old chicken cutlets in the freezer- they were not yet frozen! So I got fresh chicken cutlets for $3.50 a pound.

If anyone is in BoroPark and wants to check out this nice grocery, it's The Kosher Food Depot on 42nd and 13th. I save between $4 and $15 at each shopping.

It's also very conveniently set up. Not too large, which makes pacing the aisles difficult with small kids, not to mention how easy it is to lose a child. And it's not too small that you can barely fit through- forget about the stroller! After trying out a whole bunch of local grocery stores, this one is undeniably the winner in value and convenience.
