I am not familiar with Old Dutch, but I know about where you live, beautful country. Born and raised in Va - love this state!! I can sometimes catch a good deal at food lion when the exp date is the same day and they really mark it down - I always freeze it. Harris Teeter - I have found so many great deals there too!! I dont like going into Walmart or the Super Walmart cause I find myself spending more than what I wanted, I see a shirt that is on sales or a pair of pants or something that "I just cant live without!!" So I stay away. I have a friend who is a manager of the Walmart here in Charlottesville and I call her to pick up what ever I need and she uses her discount card, I then pay her back. She doesnt mind and I actually save in the long run. I dont believe its such a great deal to get a membership at Sam's. We did it for awhile but after my husband and I did some price comparing we realized that you can buy the same items for either the same or less at other stores. Save your money there. I love Aldi!! We have one in Culpeper, so I go there once a month. I have found another store that is better than Aldi's - "Sharp Shoppers" - they are based in Penn but have two stores here in Virginia. One in Harrisonburg and then one in Waynesboro. If you are ever in this area you should really check them out - they also have a website that you can check out. Some of the deals that I got where:
4 can of chic/beef broth 1.00
4 cans of soups/beans/pasta 1.00
fresh bread .35 cents a loaf
50 lbs of dog food - 5.99
35 lbs of cat food - 2.99
40 lbs of cat litter - 2.99
boxes of rice-a-roni and Pasta-roni - 3@1.00
16 strawberry granola bars for 1.99
16 cheddar brats for 2.99
6 pounds of ground beef for 3.99
These are some of the deals. I spent 100.00 and got three grocery carts full. Then on the way home I stopped at a little store when I say a sign that said tomatoes for .29 a lb...I got a deal on the tomatoes and then saw the potatoes - that was a deal that was too good to be true. You should check out the Sharp Shoppers site - maybe they could open one near you.
Hope I helped some..

Sams Club membership price
You may want to call and check on that price - here in Texas it is abt $40.00 but that is for a whole year - not per month. Sams is great depending on what you buy there. As with any store, compare the price on a per ounce basis with other stores in your area for comparable items. Some things are great deals, others, perhaps not so great. Also think about storage for things that are perishable. If you have a plan to preserve those kinds of things or are going in on a purchase with someone else, then it's a good deal, but if you can't eat or use it all before it goes bad then it may not be such a great deal. Just my opinion.

Yeh, it is $40 a year, not $40 a month. - And it is DEFINITELY worth it! We go once every couple of months & stock up on toilet paper, etc.
Oh and now in Ohio , Apples doubles coupons on Monday and Tuesdays. Once a month K-Mart will be doubling coupons. But talking to the store manager on Friday she said I'd have to watch for their ad and the dates would be posted there, for the time being--till futher notice.

Thanks for telling us about Kmart doubling coupons once a month! I was hoping they'd continue doing that! A couple of weeks ago I went in there & bought $90 worth of stuff for $20 something dollars! I got cascade complete for 28 cents, free shampoo, etc! It was great! Can't wait to go back & get some stocking stuffers!
Remember it is still selected stores --the manager told me. And in my area she said that they would be doing the doubling for the next couple of months here.
So remember to give your local K-Mart a call first. I'd call them now so you can start planning. And getting the best deal possible..
thanks for the posting. in Columbia SC the Piggly Wiggly will not let your double. and we no longer have a Harris Teeter in town (boy do I miss them) Publix will also let you double up to 50 cents or the price of the produt. Bi Lo will let you double up to 60 cents.
To Kim in SD I know you must miss your Aldi's. I get lots of stuff there. my latest, spiral sliced honey ham with the glaze for 1.49# best price in town for your Thanksgiving ham. used it last holiday season and it was just as good as more expensive brands.
