I buy all my can stuff at sal...its cheaper...most of it 3/$1...I love it there...I don't buy my meat there though, but the can stuff is cheap and is just as good as the name brand cans to me.

[moneymaker]

I also by my can goods from sav-a-lot, you can't beat their price.

[labjor]

SAL is by far, the least expensive place for canned goods; even when A's had their big .50/can sale last week, SAL either beat their price or was the same.....and the stuff is always on the shelf, no rain checks, no coupons needed

[ahuddle]

I love it for the canned goods, during the holidays for all of those canned food drives, I always get a case or two of veggies.

[save4blondie]

I love SAL too but we almost always buy our meat there, one of our friends use to be a butcher there and he got us to try their meat. We can buy awesome T-Bones and prime cut steaks pretty cheap plus they always heave reduced meat ie.. "managers special", "reduced for quick sale". If you haven't tried their meat, you might think twice.

[foggy]

They have awesome truckload meat sales here.

Pick 5 for $19.99.... I always go for the biggest packs of meat and end up getting between $20 - $25 worth of meat each time..

Just look for the pick 5 stickers on the meat.... usually ground beef, chicken, and pork.

This is an especially great deal on the boneless skinless chicken breasts!

There are usually Pick 5 deals in the freezer section too.

Bags of breaded chicken tenders or chicken nuggets.
Bags of corn on the cob
and a few others.

[30good]

buy most of canned goods, spices, adn tea bags there

[Lynk]

I like to stock up with can goods from SAL. I also like to go for their reduced meat sales.
I can usually find nice looking packages of meat . Sometimes it is for meat that I rarely buy because of the cost.

[justmelome]

I too have bought canned goods from there but I seem to prefer aldis.

[DFWmom]

I'm going to give this store a try. I've not been in one for a long time.

[cindyloo]

I LOVE SAL! My cuz is a meat market mgr. I buy everything here! I go to other stores for double/triple Qs making them FREE! I would recommend this store to anyone!

I have never been to a SAL. What kinds of things sell for 3/$1?

[gmpaula]

no 3/$1 canned goods or 5/$19.99 meats at my store! grrrrrr.

[foggy]

Well phooey gmpaula! There are three SAL's that I stop in at... one on a regular basis and two when I'm in that area. One of them doesn't run the same sales at the other two does which is weird but I found out they are locally owned which means the other two (one of which I go to regularly) has the same sales... the $19.99 meat deal and the 3/$1 canned goods. So maybe yours is locally owned is why.

[justmelome]

Mine also doesnt do the 3/1 can sales but we do have the 19.99 sales on meat I have been finding a few forms and coupons at mine recently too!

[foggy]

I've noticed a few more q's and forms here too. I hope it continues!

[kimmyann123]

ours is great we finally have the meat deal!!its great 5 packs for 19.99 fresh meat.

[cindyloo]

I was excited to find Nostolgic Candy wrappers for Hershey Bars tonight! I am in charge of my IL's 50th Anniv Celebration next month! We are gonna put a wrapper over the candy bars with one of thier wedding pics! Thought it was neat to find the old wrappers! I am hoping they can order me a couple of more boxes tho! I bought ALL the hershey bars they had! I sure got some looks! I am a big gal! I just stopped in for a few items and bought out the candy too! LOL I bet the guy that checked me out thought I was gonna go home and eat candy all night!!!

[foggy]

The Candy Bar Wrappers & Pics sounds like a great idea!!

[DFWmom]

Well, I went to the SAL in my area and the canned goods...any kind were all 58 cents a piece. The fresh fruit was inexpensive but the meats were just as expensive as any of the other stores. Oh, well. I guess I'll stick to double and triple coupon stores and good ol' Wally World.

[foggy]

Well that stinks! Sorry your SAL didn't have the good meat deal, etc.

[pamelab1]

How do you tell the expire dates on their canned goods? I'm looking to do a bigger stock pile from there and would like to know.
Thanks

[foggy]

It's a printed code on there just like regular brands.

Look for the day date, month, year in a code and that will tell when it was sealed.

I can't remember the shelf life of canned foods... seems like it may be a year or three years.

[27with1]

I love SAL for their canned ravoli, deals on name brand cereal, frozen okra and french fries and boxed/pouch side dishes. I usually buy more depending on what they have but always walk out with those items. I also think it's fun because I never know what they are going to have.
