Same here. Aldis, Shaws, and Market Basket are on my commute (I drive past three Market Baskets) and within about a half mile of each other. Hannaford is about two miles from my home and also on my commute. My shopping 'process' begins on Sunday when Aldi's posts their weekly ads. On Tuesday or Wednesday, Market Basket and Hannaford ads arrive in my mailbox. Thursday Shaws posts their upcoming ad and Friday Shaws posts their coupons. I buy milk and eggs at Aldis or Market Basket. I also get most of my not-on-sale items at one of these stores. I shop Shaws for their ad. Hannaford is mostly for the ad as well. Both have digital coupons and a very good loyalty program. Market Basket, Shaws, and Hannaford have excellent bakeries. I also pay attention to Amazop's subscribe and save promotions and occasionally visit Ocean State Job Lot for spices, batteries, and other commodities. Most of this is free as the back end of a Crazy Deal. Last week I bought a Z Grills pellet smoker for $399.99 that came with a $200 Crazy Card. This is a ZPG-550B which sells for $439 on Amazon.

I need a couple iPhones for my kids. That is the Big Hope. Already shopping. I am also in the market for a big tv or a projector. Probably not going to happen this year as the room is not ready and I'm just beginning to research projectors. I'm planning to get my kids bedding, pillows, and robes from MyPillow®: Official MyPillow Site. I am not one to spend a lot on any of these things, but I know SO MANY PEOPLE who have indulged themselves and not a single one eith buyer's remorse.

I certainly agree that overall prices are on the rise and I have seen some sporadic out of stock or low stock situations, but, for the most part, I have not been spending more and I have not had to do without. I just compiled a shopping list for my Hannaford run tomorrow... 24 Oz. Kahiki Orange Chicken $5.99 - $1.25 coupon = $4.7320 Oz. Barilla Vero Gusto Calabrian Marinara Sauce $4.99/Ea. - $2.00 = $2.99Cabot 8 oz.

Could have bought twenty. No allocation issues where I shop.$1.77 for boneless, skinless chicken breast$0.58 for a head of iceberg lettuce$0.97 / # baby carrots I did not notice bare shelves at either store. And LOL at 'four distributors shared the email with CNN Business on the condition of anonymity to avoid jeopardizing their relationships with suppliers'. A real news story would have told you WHY they are having supply chain, labor, and transportation issues. Here is where Kelloggs manufactures stuff... Most of the states where Kelloggs does business were still offering enhanced unemployment benefits in August per CNBC. A decent reporter might have disclosed that... Work at all of the Kellogg Company's U.S. cereal plants came to a halt Tuesday [October 5th] as roughly 1,400 workers went on strike, but it wasn't immediately clear how much the supply of Frosted Flakes or any of the company's other iconic brands would be disrupted. The strike includes plants in Omaha, Nebraska Battle Creek, Michigan; Lancaster, Pennsylvania; and Memphis, Tennessee. The union and the Battle Creek-based company have been at an impasse at the bargaining table for more than a year, said Daniel Osborn, president of the local union in Omaha. The dispute involves an assortment of pay and benefit issues such as the loss premium health care, holiday and vacation pay and reduced retirement benefits I don't have time to fact check the entire story, but I'd have to give the article five Pinocchios based on my shopping experience, use of anonymous sources, and failure to consider other factors -- such as strikes and enhanced unemployment benefits. Personally, I believe some of these companies are manufacturing crises to justify price hikes. Remember the egg shortage? Just like that. Relax, shop more stores, and turn off CNN.

Maybe, but I can't help smile when I pull a $5.99 ribeye or porterhouse out of the freezer. Those smiles are bound to wear out my face as inflation intensifies. Let's go Brandon!

When we bought out home in 1990, we filled it with Hotpoint appliances (GE value line, employee discount, etc.) including an upright freezer. That was still working when we recycled it about 15 years later. When we replaced our refrigerator (for cosmetic reasons), I stored it in the basement until I could recycle it. Then I plugged it in and put seltzer water and beer in the bottom and used the top for 'deals' (Zaycon Fresh) on meats. Later I added a chest freezer. That 31 year old refrigerator is starting to rust out a bit, but still keeps things as cold as I like. The capacity of the two frig top freezers plus the chest is plenty for me. The chest is not really inconvenient to navigate/rotate if you store your food in milk crates. I really like spreading our cold foods over two refrigerators too. Something to think about if you are pondering a new refrigerator or come across a sale on a basic model.

Amazon.com: NuWave Primo 1500-watt Dual-Heat Combo Grill Oven with Integrated Digital Temperature Probe: Home & Kitchen Coming up on two years with one of these ($66.49 at Kohls on 11/17/2019). My favorite countertop appliance. This is a programmable indoor grill with a temperature probe. Salmon, steaks, home fries, chicken breasts, whole chicken, chicken wings, and drumsticks all come out great (though I still prefer oil fried drumsticks). Great gift for anyone who grills outside all summer.

I paid $69.99 for mine after trade in. The reasons they command higher prices after so many years? 1) Cheap ink that will not damage the printer. 2) People like you and me that praise the printer after years of service. Back when we bought ours, there were lots of options, but few that had all of the features of the MX922. Good luck with your ink tank printer.

https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Echo-Show-Alexa-Enabled-Black/dp/B01J24C0TI I have nine Echo Shows. Five are these first gen devices. I can't find anything wrong with them. The oldest is more than four years old and I have found it to be reliable. I have one on my desk at work. I use it to listen to radio, 'drop in' on my son, and otherwise entertain myself. I have an Echo Connect and use the Show on my desk at work to monitor and answer my landline at home. While the latest models can cost as much as $250, these are $40. Get this for someone who has a new baby. A pair make an outstanding baby monitor. Or just get one and use your smart phone as the remote device. Also a great nanny cam as you can disable indicators of someone dropping in.Get one for an elderly person who wants to be independent and safe. I bought one for my 82 year old mother. We chat face to face from time to time (hands free). If I cannot get a hold of her, I drop in to make sure everything is OK.Get one for someone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen. Alexa can do calculations and conversions, add things to your grocery list, find recipes and substitutes, and entertain you in the kitchen.

Amazon.com: CANON MX922 INKJET OFFICE ALL IN ONE PRINTER : Office Products I realize this is an expensive and graying printer, but I have been using one for six years now and it is a workhorse that does everything -- AirPrint, Auto Duplex, Auto Sheet Feeder, Borderless Printing, CD/DVD Printing, Google Cloud Print, Photo Printing. Ink is less than $1/cart. If you are a Staples Rewards member receiving $2/cart when you recycle, you are LITERALLY printing money. Happy shopping, Giz!

My oldest always mocked my pantry. He was pretty happy to stop by and grab k-cups and toilet paper when the shelves were bare.

Shopping for any kind of computer, the first step is to determine applications needs. Usually, that and budget narrow things a lot. Unless this is a surprise, ask what the tablet will be used for capturing any specific application and compatibility requirements. Post here or PM and I will find you the best deal on the best hardware within your budget.

Christmas. For me, BF has always been the start of the Christmas season. The deals and lines came many years later.
