Is it just me…or do the years keep getting faster as I get older? I can’t say that I’ve really enjoyed making this discovery.
Whether I like it or not, it IS in fact a new month. Which means I want to spend some time giving you my best “game plan” advice on what to expect on sale. Ready?
According to my 2009 year-end post What Goes on Sale and When, here’s what came on sale July of last year:
HEAVY on Kraft and Kellogg’s deals – both offered rebates and there was an abundance of coupons including printables. Items such as mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, and tuna fish on rockin’ prices. Summer produce – such as cherries, tomatoes, and plums were cheap. Hot dog and ice cream deals continued. There were also a couple notable deals on bottled water and Gatorade. The best deals on school supplies were also found in July.
Do the school supplies surprise you? They sure through me for a loop last year. But believe it or not, expect to see some of the best school supplies in July. Christy over at Thrifty and Thriving has reported seeing patio furniture at Target for 75% already. I’m not overly surprised. They need to move this stuff to make way for school supplies. If you think I’m off my rocker, just you wait, oh Skeptical One.
At Albertsons this week we definitely are starting to see some of the Kraft promotions roll out. I’m sure hoping Kraft will oblige with some great coupons (anyone remember the HOT Kraft printables they rolled out last year)? I anticipate we’ll see Kraft for awhile this month.
Ready for my list of July food holidays? Sometimes deals *may* correspond to these, but more often or not, this is all in good food fun!
