I have updated my Grocery Stores page to now include Randall’s. You can go HERE to check out how to save the most money at Randall’s.

I have also covered Target and Wal-Mart on that page as well!

Back in my hometown, the big-box store was pretty much the only store to shop at because they basically ran everyone else out of business in such a small town. But now that I am here in a much bigger city, and have more choices, I am seeing the light!

Even after living here for over a year and half, I still thought the big-box store was the way to go; that was until I discovered that Randall’s (affiliated with Safeway) doubles and triples coupons! The first time I went shopping there, I was blown away by how much money I saved!!

While a lot of their items are still fairly expensive even with coupons, you just have to make sure you only buy what is on sale that week. I have only shopped at Randall’s four times so far, still only buying sale items, but I have been able to save 73% already!

Just to give you an idea, here is what I bought on my most recent trip to Randall’s:

2 – Annie’s Mac & Cheese
3 – Betty Crocker Mashed Potatoes
15 – Rice-A-Roni
3 – Quaker Instant Oatmeal
6 – Hershey’s Candy Bars
3 – Rosarita Beans
1 – Mission Flour Tortillas
2 – Sargento Sliced Natural Cheese
1 – Softsoap Pump Soap
2 – Fresh Express Lettuce
1 – Wishbone Salad Dressing
2 – Progresso Rich & Hearty Soup
1 – Nabisco Teddy Grahams
1 – Lance Peanut Butter Crackers
1 – Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese
2 – Dannon Yogurt
3 – Lean Pockets

Actual Retail Value: $103.85

But, by using my Randall’s Card, store coupons, and manufacturer’s coupons all combined with the sale prices…

Total Out of Pocket: $25.37

While the big-box store still has a few good deals, most of my shopping from now on will be done at Randall’s!
