THE SEASON OF SUMMER DEALS! REMINDER

 
"Something To Keep In Mind"
 
 
 
 
Summer season will bring out the best of deals!  Produce that are in season will generate mega deals in stores.  Do not pass a store without taking a peek because you will never know what "hidden" deals are going on.  For example, I stepped in a Whole Foods Market to just browse and I have noticed these "hidden" deals:
 
 

A steal of a deal!

 
Plus, the store gave a nice demonstration on how to prepare the avocados and samples!
 
Do not be afraid in asking for a sample.
 

Asking for a sample before purchasing an item will save you money- Just ask.
 
 
Another steal of a deal!

 
What a deal on these coconut waters, right?  Some stores are selling products by cases.  If so, check to see if the store has a rule, such as, if you buy a product by bulk do they give out discounts.  For example, Whole Foods Market gives a 10% discount off on buying items in bulk cases.
 
If you don't ask, you will never know. 
 
If you don't stop by a store, you will never know.

SUMMER DEALS!

 
"Season Produce Sales"
 
 
 
 
 
     When produce are in season you best believe there are going to be great deals.  You just have to keep an eye out on any sale billboards.  Sometimes you would have to stop in a store and see what "hidden sales" are happening that very day.  So, don't be too quick in by passing a store or market.  Stop in and browse (window shop).
 
     Otherwise, you may just miss these type of sales...

What to do when seeing a SUPER STEAL DEAL?

  1. Grab and rack up the steal before it's gone.  (make sure you have some kind of cash)
  2. Then spread the word to family and friends.  (make sure you got your goods first)
  3. Never get overwhelm on the amount you've bought.  Learn to savour every produce as best as you can.
  • Have your freezer ziploc baggies on hand.

"It's a saver"

 
  •  Start emptying out the containers. Sort out what amount you want now or later.
Eat now or later


  •  Thoroughly wash all produce before storing in freezer.
Organic or Not it must be washed!


A clean rinse for safety

  • Dry produce off.
Nibble on some NOW!

  •  Bag the produce up!
Months SUPPLY!
Oh MY GOODNESS!
  •  Make room in that freezer.
Ice cold smoothies! 

  • Go green.  Recycle empty cartons!
Recycle cartons

Now that you know not to pass by a market like this...

Learn and memorize the schedule and location.
 
Timing is the key

And last of all check on what events are happening.

Knowledge is Power!

                 
You are now a "wise shopper."                                                                       


                                                                                                    Enjoy your SUPER DEALS!
