With such a crappy economy, I think it's important to remember that we have options - ways to save money. For example, my husband and I are able to stick to a grocery budget of $200-$250 for two weeks by buying most of our items at Sam's Club (meats, produce, frozen fruit, milk, eggs, etc...) and the remainder at Save-a-lot. I know a lot of people think warehouse stores are a waste of money and time, but if you have the space to store the items and you shop by unit price, they can be an excellent place to pick up some of your items.
One thing I do not take advantage of (and I should) is price-matching. I don't know - I've always just felt weird going up to the counter and saying "ACME Discount Store has this item for $1 less. Can you make it be that price?" I guess I should give in - price match and demand the lower price. It would eliminate going to a couple of stores if I do it smartly. I'll think about it. . . but I digress. The whole point of this soliloquy is that thanks to SavvySugar.com, there is a recent list of 10 stores that offer price matching and price adjusting. Read, take notes, save... and convince me that price matching is worth my time! :)
