There are certain items I always try to buy at Walmart because they are consistently cheaper there. Usually their store brand. Meat is usually cheaper at Piggly Wiggly. Food Lion has the best sales and marked down meat.
Today I purchased enough laundry detergent to last about 9 months at Food Lion. Purex Laundry Detergent was on sale at Food Lion for buy one get one free, including the "new" Natural Elements Concentrate, 32 load size. I had six $1.00 coupons for these, which brought the price down to $1.19 each. I also had several coupons for $1.00 off two of the regular Purex 24 load in the blue jug. This wasn't as good a deal, so I only bought 4 with a final cost of $1.69 each.
I have also found that you can use less of the detergent per load, especially if the clothes aren't that dirty, so this laundry detergent may last me even longer than 9 months.
All of the laundry detergent fit on the bottom shelf of the table in the pantry/laundry room nook! In the basket underneath are sweet potatoes. I cooked sweet potato souffle yesterday! Yummy!
I also bought 2 gallons of milk on sale at Walgreens for $3.69 and have frozen one of them. I've never frozen milk before and would like to see how it works out before investing in any more
An anonymous commenter reminded me that batteries are a good thing to have on hand in the winter. So hopefully I can purchase a supply of batteries, especially "D"s with coupons and on sale.

Great job! This is buying in bulk at its finest. Be sure to update in 9 months to let us know how your detergent stash is coming along :)
Great deal! I try to stock up on liquid detergent when it is less than $3 a jug, your deal is super!
Wow, good job! I love stocking up too. It just feels good to know you are ahead of the game. I'm very impressed with all your laundry detergent.
Hi Debbie, Good job, I love it when you get a REALLY good deal. Let us know how the frozen milk works out.

Mama, I have frozen milk before and it worked out fine. Did you really get both jugs for $3.69?? We get our milk for $3.29 at BJ's which is consistently 70 - 80 cents cheaper than most places. As for the batteries, they are VERY cheap in bulk at BJ's. Want me to get you some? Then the Mom total is ZERO!!! haha. That's a good way to save - the daughter discount! ;)
What a great deal!
Great job! I just love to hear people getting great bargains. I also would like to hear how long the detergent last you.
