Many supermarkets are hiding great deals, right in plain sight; you just have to know where to look.

Keep these days in mind and it could save you cash and snag some free food.  Hit up Aldi on a Wednesday or Target on a Tuesday; that’s when you’ll get the best deals on groceries.  Speaking of, some items under Walmart‘s Great Value name are made by the brands you know.  Walgreens has been doing that for years… for example, offering Deans dairy products, under their own store label – for a lot less.

Hungry? Ask to taste test any product from Trader Joe’s. Got a bigger appetite?  Compliment an employee at Publix (if you shop sometimes on vacation) and you could receive a coupon for a free sandwich.

Not a member at Costco?  Go with someone who is, and you can still shop.  Or, pick up a cash card, which gives you the same benefits, including the ability to order a pizza and have it hot and ready by the time you check out.
