Associated Foods buys Albertsons

I have loved shopping at Albertsons since I started couponing. They regularly have sales that go right along with current coupons. I have been able to stock up on the things my family uses for very little. Yesterday, it was announced that Associated Foods bought almost all the Utah Albertsons stores (excluding 2 Orem, 2 West Jordan, and 3 St George stores). Click here or here or here for the news story. Although I am disappointed to lose my favorite grocery store, I am optimistic that there will always be deals to be found. I am interested to see what Associated Foods does with this block of stores. I am hoping that they will keep them with a separate identity than the rest of the Associated Foods stores. We'll see how it all plays out.

Here is an article about couponing from the Deseret Morning News yesterday. I especially like the part about choosing the price we're willing to pay. Check it out!

PYP in the News

Pinchingyourpennies.com (or PYP) is a site that compiles lists of the best grocery deals paired with coupons. I have been using it for 2 years. Right now is a great time to join PYP since they are coming up on their 5 year anniversary (March 11) and will be giving away prizes to celebrate. Here is a link to the first giveaway--a shelf reliance storage system. (If you win, I'll try to contain my jealousy!)
