Shopping the Case Lot Sales

2011_04290002

I try to go to the Case Lot Sales held on base to stock up on things, but there are times that I honestly don't see anything that I need and I am not one to just buy just because it's on sale.  If I don't need it, I don't buy it, plain and simple.

Our local Base Commissary is having a Case Lot sale this weekend, so this morning the kiddos and I headed over to see what was on sale and this one actually ended up having quite a few things that I needed, so let me show you what I came away with.

Big box of assorted cereal 10 count (my kids love the individual boxes) - $10


Total after coupons = $80

Not bad at all.    I'll have to go back tomorrow to do my grocery shopping but at least I have a few things that will last me quite a while, especially the shampoo/conditioner, the tortilla chips, the cereal and the dog food etc.

The great thing about buying in bulk is being able to freeze whatever you need.  I came home, got everything packed away and after I cleared out the fridge for tomorrow's grocery, I had a few things that I hadn't made that were on the menu for the past two weeks.  So I made them anyway and froze them for future meals.

Like this wonderful Mini Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches, great for a snack, a lunch or even a light dinner.
