For us, every single dollar has to count.
That's why I started a Kansas City Grocery Price Book for stores like HyVee, Price Chopper, Aldi, and Sun Fresh. I looked for one online, but I couldn't find one, so I've been working on my own. I hope you find it helpful too!
This price book does not have every sale item or every regularly priced item, rather, it's a compilation of the foods that we eat the most and the rock bottom prices that I've found them at. So pretty much, you are going to find out just how much we love our ice cream!
Please feel free to invite your friends who want to stock up on loss leaders to download the Google Document. All I ask is that you send them directly here to download the price book, and not forward the document on your own.
And make sure you check back every week! I try really hard to keep it updated when the sale flyers come in the mail, and I'm always adding new items! I upload a revised version of the book every week, so for the latest edition, click below!
Guide to the Kansas City Grocery Price Book:
Items are divided into sections to make it easy to flip back and forth. The date associated with an item is the date at which it was last on sale at that price. When the same sale comes back around, I update the date so that I know how long the sale cycle is.
For example: Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts might be on sale for $1.49 lb on 5/30/12. On 7/11/12 the sale comes back around, so the date is changed to show the most recent sale date at the lowest price. Then I know that chicken goes on sale about every six weeks, so I need to buy accordingly.
Items that have "yes" on their lines mean that the noted price is a sale price. If the "yes" spot is empty, that means I found that item at a regular retail price. I sometimes include those for frequently bought items that rarely go on sale.
The next line over will have a number in it. That is the number of weeks between the most recently listed sale date and the sale date before it. That will help you watch the cycles and know if you need to by six weeks worth of an item or 16 weeks worth of an item.
