One of the best times to stock up on needed items for your 3-month supply are case lot sales. Prices are great on many items and you are not limited by coupons that only allow you get "so many". Some items to stock up on are canned fruit and veggies, ketchup, oil, canned tomato sauce, sugar, salt, pasta, tuna, canned soup, honey, rice, jam/jelly, etc. March is a big month for case lot sales in Utah, so my sister and I headed over to Macey's to see what deals we could find.
- 50 lbs. granulated white sugar- $18.99
- 45 lbs. hard white/red wheat (already packed in a 6 gallon bucket w/lid)- $18.99 FANTASTIC PRICE!!
- 20lbs. long grain white or brown rice- $9.99
- 16-24 oz. bottles of ketchup- $14.24 (that is .89 a bottle)
- SAF Yeast- 2 for $5.00
- Country Cream Instant Powdered Milk- $9.99
- Canned Butter- $4.99
- 55 gallon water barrels- $39.99
- Gamma Seal Lids (easy access for storage buckets) - $5.99
These were the things we bought...but I am holding out for Smiths to have better prices on canned fruits and veggies.
Check in your area when case lot sales are going to take place and take advantage of the discounts you can find. One thing to remember though, don't assume that just because it is part of a case lot sale, that it is a great deal. Go to grocerysmarts.com and enter in the code g84cso. Now this is a list for Utah stores, but print off their list for Macey's (this week) and see the ratings they give for case lot sale items. That way, when you are planning for your local case lot sale, you can know when you spot a good deal.
If anyone else has found some great deals...please let us know!

What a fun time we had at Macey's! Too bad all of that stuff is still sitting in my front room. Oh well. I'm still thinking about going back to buy more wheat. And milk. And maybe one more 55-gallon barrel, but just so we can get a good laugh!
