CLEARANCE SHOPPING LIKE FRUGAL FIT MOM | CAN IT BE DONE? | GROCERY HAUL REACTION

[@LeafLikeOnATree]

Well you know I loved this reaction video! I see a new series for you. I loved hearing all your thoughts on the deals. I remember asking myself WWCB, What Would Christine Buy? 😂

[@KatWrangler]

! know! Her voice goes through my head as I shop. Christine says "Hard Pass", Christine says "Buy them all!" LOL

[@findingaway5512]

🤣WWCB... We need bracelets.

[@findingaway5512]

Loved both of the videos!

[@AliciasKitchen7]

😂😂😂 WWCB 😂😂

[@carmarasmussen8118]

I bet you were so thrilled that Christine did this reaction video! Great job on the clearance deals, Shannon 😉

[@mfaithdrew]

This video just proves what I already know. You are THE most practical woman on KZbin. Your shopping, cooking and tips are always spot on and have made me a better shopper by comparing price per ounce instead of a large package that looks good but is deceptivly high in price. No loads of TexMex, or look at me or my cute kids, etc. You just get down to it in a fun way. I watch your every video and today sharing another's shopping trip is so generous of you. Your advice is THE BEST. Love you Christine!

[@anaabanana]

I love HEB! Their store brand items are always delicious and they have just about everything you could need. They treat their employees well, give back to the community, and provide more relief during disasters than our state gov 🙃

[@Texasmommaof5]

After seeing your last haul I was so inspired to try it for myself. This morning I left my house at 7:30 to drive the 30 minutes to our closest H‑E‑B. I got there at 8 and was able to fill a buggy with clearance produce and meat. I have 5 kids and I filled my freezer for less than $200. I was sooooooo excited to get such great deals. I’m planning to do this once a month if I’m able to.

[@patriciagray756]

I live in California. We do NOT have an HEB. But my son lives in TEXAS. He does and introduced me. It is the most awsome grocery store in the WORLD! They have clothes, toys, makeup, pharmacy,in store Dr office, a bakery that you smell throughout the store.. Homemade tortillas , store wrapped cheese and meats HEB brands, flowers inside and outside, outside patio furniture, absolutely wonderful. Patti

[@meerafinearts1914]

This is beautiful, creators supporting eachother ❤️

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

Agreed. And the varying view points and in-depth discussion each provided shows we can all learn from each other, even if we think we're already well versed.

[@dreamingfool2]

My current top clearance find is milk: My local Fry's had 1/2 gallon milk for 88¢ each. While picking some up I saw they had 4 - one gallon organic 2% milk on clearance for 99¢ because the best by date was in a couple of days. Needless to say, I got all of them and both froze and canned them for later use.

[@angelashrader2845]

I love how sweet you were during your reactions. 🥰

[@bethbrec]

I shop HEB and they have awesome fresh meat. I usually shop their smaller stores to avoid the crowds. When family visited from out of state they requested to go to HEB cause they heard so much about it, so we took them to one of the large ones so they could see the vast selection of products. They couldn't get over the produce selection. Gotta love HEB if you're from Texas! 😁

[@lauraboenig2341]

Love the helpful advice and content creator support! Agree, hate shopping when stores are crowded. Love HEB but nearest one is 1-2 away depending on traffic so tend to do grocery pick up via their ap. You would love the baking section and salsa section. Both very high quality.

[@tamrasuem9652]

I love that you support other KZbinrs. We love FFM!!! My daughters and granddaughters all watch you! I listen to you every morning on my drive from Ventura to LA. Hour and a half! Can’t wait to dive into Shannon’s videos!

[@heathersmeather]

Thank you for introducing us to Shannon. I adore you both. 🥰

[@BamaRollOn]

Thought about you yesterday afternoon…. Shopping my local Walmart… my daughter tries to eat mostly vegetarian…. School teacher on a budget…. Impossible chicken nuggets marked down to $1…. Ibotta $1.25 back… between her account, my account, and my son’s account, she got 15 bags for $0 and we got $2.25 cash back which covered the tax with a little left over! AND $.25 for any receipt!!!!!

[@mandlerparr1]

I got 20 pack instant quaker oatmeal the other week for free because Walmart marked them down to $1 and Ibotta had $1 rebate up to 5.

[@rebeccaowsley7233]

I moved from Texas 2 years ago and I still miss HEB. They have the best range and selection for good prices. Since moving away, I had to start going to 3 different stores to get all the same items for similar prices. Also, so much of what they carry is local so everything is really fresh.

[@flyinggeckos123]

I love HEBs and whenever I leave Dallas for south of Waco I make a stop at HEB wherever I can so I can stock up. I like the price of their house brand ziplock brands and they have so many fun seasonal items!

[@melissa.martin]

I feel this so much! I moved from Texas to Oregon 3 years ago and miss HEB so much; I had to get my mom to send me stuff in the mail lol The prices up here do not compare to HEB prices.

[@margaretqueenofscots9450]

I miss HEB too! Such a lovely store. Not the best prices across the board, but some items were great, and the produce is so fresh

[@ThatsGoldJerry575]

Great video! As much as I love these videos, they make me chuckle when I think of telling my 20 years ago self that I would be watching someone on the internet, watching someone else on the internet go grocery shopping. But I'm here for it all day!

[@anniehendricks8678]

As a single income homeschooling family we needed to get our spending under control. So, my daughter and I have been binge watching your videos and we went out on our first clearance/bargain shopping hunt yesterday. We went to multiple Kroger stores, Big Lots, Walmart, Aldi, and Dollars Tree. I have to say Kroger was the best for bargains and Aldi was the best for all around everyday low prices. The best finds were my daughter's favorite yogurt for .50 cent off, naan bread for a third of the price, and cold/supplements for a 1/3 of the price. There were other great deals but not of foods we eat. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Also, I like these react videos because they teach us what to do and don't do. God's best to you.

[@paulaneary7877]

YES! After stopping making cookies and baked goods from scratch, bc it was getting expensive, I noticed cookie doughs and pie crusts seemed expensive also. When I was little, like around 10 or so, we had an extra freezer/fridge in out garage. My mom would go to the "day old' hostess store and buy lunch snacks and bread and freeze them. She would also buy pre-made pizza doughs and huge cans of pizza sauce and large bags of pepperoni and cheese and we would spend a weekend morning making like12 or 14 unbaked pizza's and freezing them. We had 6 kids in our family, so 8 people to feed every evening promptly at 6:00. My dad would go out on the driveway and ring a cow bell to call us in from the neighborhood for dinner. My parents did well, we went to private school and all had braces. My mom still accounts for every penny she spends. They bought their house in the late 60's for $19.000 dollars. She could sell it now for about a million and it is just a tract home. MY parents were smart. I am thankful.

[@jerryglass6513]

I moved from California to North idaho when I retired. I shop at safeway in both California and Idaho. Every morning between 8 and 10 the meat gets discounted. There is a place at the end of the meat counter that they put some of it. Mostly the higher priced cuts of steaks. But they also leave a lot in with the regular priced meat. 50% off HB, chicken, pork. I have a freezer full of discount meat.

[@andreasmith8213]

This was super helpful!!! Thanks Christine!! It's like shopping training. Teach me your way....

[@lorinr5030]

We have a market where you get 60lbs of produce for $10. I go there every Saturday and pick that up. Then I spend Saturday prepping it all. It's always very ripe. I don't usually see clearance meat but we have good sales so I stock up. I get bread off the mark down shelf and put it in the freezer. Cheese always goes on sales for around $2.50 a pound. I have stock up prices in my head. When it's a good deal I get as many as I can.

[@proudmammaof6148]

If you don't mind me asking what state are you in that you get produce for that price? That is amazing.

[@lorinr5030]

@@proudmammaof6148 Arizona

[@proudmammaof6148]

I believe I heard of that years ago. That is awesome. I wish they had that offer in Indiana.

[@silvergirlsweets9076]

I moved to Michigan from Texas and I so miss HEB! I never before had to shop at more than one store before because of HEB! My favorite thing at HEB is the Whataburger products. Their brand of organic products is also AMAZING! They own Central Market so they sell some of their products as well. My family back home sends me things from HEB for Christmas and birthdays

[@Bloodhoundjed1]

My daughter buys the Whataburger pancake mix, and really likes it.

[@themodernhippy8946]

So, it's been 9 years since I've shipped in TX, but HEB has multiple sales and you can do coupons on top of them. Example: they will have a deal where ketchup is on sale for 99 cents. But they will also have a coupon on the shelf for a free mustard when you buy 2 ketchup. Plus you can use manufacturer's coupons.

[@flyinggeckos123]

When I was in school in San Antonio I used to shop the coupon wall and that helped determine what products I bought that month

[@vanessamartinez4917]

HEB is where it’s at. Depending on the store you can find fresh tortillas, BBQ, menudo, and tons more!

[@arbella89]

I've never seen Shannon's videos before but she looks fun. I think I like her already 😊

[@joielynette]

Hey Christine 😁 I live in San Antonio Texas and we ONLY have HEB or Walmart (Sam's and Costco). Since we are limited I do 99% of my shopping at HEB. The best clearance deals at HEB are located on their clearance shelves. It's usually near the cold section. I've found some amazing deals on those shelves. HEB only marks the meat down 25% and produce 50%. . What sets them apart from the others and Walmart is, they have their own line of food, freshest meat from local farmers,etc...

[@RTCPhotoWork]

I still get the marked down apples since I'm usually going to buy some anyway. At that point, and at the speed which we eat them when we have them, the discount is USUALLY worth getting them. The trick is making sure the sale isn't better, if there is one.

[@annswann1941]

Thanks for pointing us to someone as fun as you!!😃

[@pattywilliams788]

That was fun and she’s super cute. Perhaps you could do another reaction shopping video. Thanks for sharing, Christine.

[@dancieteague6854]

I learned that at Kroger produced go at 9 to 1030 and meat around 10 and dairy is mark down at night because they get dairy truck at 8 to 10. That's what I learned from my stocking friend at Kroger.. Texas store were I shop.I also learn the best deal is after a holiday especially if it runs through the weekend. Than Monday is going to be lots of clearance.

[@jenniferf3704]

I love this woman!! She is the best.

[@brendaturner7112]

I always buy the peppers and immediately chop and freeze. I do buy the apples and bananas as 1. it is a good deal here in SoCAL and 2. many times they are the organic produce. You just need to look at the stickers.

[@zoeannessa9989]

Both her and your video was so fun! To anyone who likes to clearance grocery shop, ask a store associate if they have a boxed/canned goods clearance area. My local Walmart and Kroger both have an area that they put any imperfect box-packaged foods at, and the markdowns tend to be great (most of the time)

[@amandashipley3284]

I loved this. I learned more tips from the comparison than ever. In Florida I find the best markdowns on Wednesday morning & Sunday night. Now if I could just stop those..I just need 1 thing ..trips..

[@connieleslie9076]

I love that you are reacting/promoting a smaller creator. Class act:) 👏👏

[@hollyh5032]

Christine, I love that you took the time to do this video! That is awesome! Thanks for all you do to help us out with our budgets!! You rock!!!

[@80str8killa]

I literally just left H-E-B and I bought every clearance sticker on whatever I got and thought of you! I filled up one of those handheld baskets for $20 with produce!

[@tamararamsey5447]

FYI on HEB, if you have several in your area, check all of them. One is probably their clearance store. We have 4 near us in the Cedar Park /Leander area, but only the 1431/183 store gets all the clearance refrigerator items. Luckily for me, that's the closest one 😁

[@jenzimmerman9079]

I also avoid busy shopping times.

[@southernsunshine4886]

Yes Christine you’re so right about looking at the other sections to find discounts! We’ve lived in two states and had two different Kroger’s and the one we had in Virginia had the biggest what I call “shelf-stable” clearance section that they moved around the store constantly! I got so much good stuff that way that was dented or they were going to stop carrying it for cheap! For example detergent, tissues, toilet paper, dog food, canned goods, cleaning products, chips/crackers. I would also like to add both of my Kroger stores would have sections with discount makeup, skincare, and vitamins. I have gotten some killer deals that way on skincare I’d already be buying! Also our discount bread in one store would be with milk and the new store I go to it’s with bakery items! Just thought I’d share some tips on where to look! Have a blessed day y’all🌼

[@lynnhager7763]

I live in southwest Va. My Kroger has a clearance shelf and buggy in the corner of the store where they put all of the clearance non perishable items

[@kimbarbeaureads]

Our Fred Meyer has clearance baskets in each section. The home section has four folding tables tucked away in the back of the store

[@Camperlauren]

I grew up with Kroger in MI but the Kroger's in VA is sooo much better!

[@kellyhill4397]

You can get alot of pizza toppings at the salad bar and no waste and prices for 5 or 6 toppings run about $4.50 because it is charged by the pound-get way to save, and cheaper than ordering, and you can do it in your pj's

[@snorlaxjen]

Yay! I love Shannon, and so glad to see her on here as this is how I found you 🤪

[@alanbirkner1958]

Near O'Hare airport. Waiting at Jewel(Albertson's) for a prescription. There were a lot of fancy items reduced, but the best for us was all the reduced half- priced pasta. Reduced because the box was dented. I usually buy the reduced bread, but I don't need it. Also, bought toothpaste on special for $1. A tube. Tina.

[@Bloodhoundjed1]

I use to do all my grocery shopping at Walmart a few years back, but got aggravated at them because it seemed like they weren't stocking all my normal items like they use to. Winco opened up closer to my home and love shopping there. It's not as crowded as Walmart, which I really like. I do shop at Albertsons and Krogers, but mainly just for the sale items in the ads. My Krogers has a discontinued/clearance section and have picked up some really good deals there. I like to check Albertsons clearance meat and I check out their bakery clearance also. I still shop at Walmart for a few items that I can't find at the grocery store or certain brand items that we use. But instead of going to Walmart every week or two, now I only go maybe once a month. My daughter likes to shop at HEB, because HEB is known for giving/helping the community/people during a crisis. I'm not big on HEB, to me it's just too big and too many people. I get very confused when I go in there.

[@Kiterpuss]

If you're craving something like cookie dough or other sweets, I highly recommend looking into mug cake recipes and just keeping the staples of those on hand. You can impulse bake a mini chocolate cake in 5 minutes and it will cost pennies versus buying an entire box or can!

[@jhwilliams6550]

They are wonderful for elderly parents who are cooking for one. I impulsively bought one for my mother in law and she loved it. She has trouble using her regular oven since she had hip replacement surgery and the mug cakes are perfect for her.

[@chantals579]

Loved watching this. You mentioned winco, I so miss having one of those close by. The two stores I have to choose from are Albertsons and Ridleys. Therefore I’ll occasionally get stuff using Walmart’s site and shipped to me. But I do find my Ridleys often has great deals on produce and they have a large variety.

[@kat-napzzz]

I’ve also found a health food/organic clearance section at some Kroger’s. It usually has gluten free stuff and protein bars on sale.

[@jlw7189]

Don't forget the bakery mark down racks!!! I live in the Seattle are, and QFC (higher-end Kroger) has the most amazing mark downs on produce, meat AND bakery items from specialty bakeries in the Seattle area - ie., Macrina and Schwartz Brothers bakeries.

[@dianejones8606]

Great video, Christine!! I’m going to check out Shannon’s channel. She seems like a fun gal!

[@juliaaltizer9588]

It is only me now, but when I had a houseful of kids consuming mass quantities of food I bought in bulk at Costco and had an extra freezer. I cut my grocery bill by at least 40% by doing this. I also carefully planned meals and converted an unused coat closet near the kitchen into a pantry so I could stock up. My son (teenager at the time) had a habit of saying "there is no food, there is no food". So on a bi-weekly basis I posted a list on the refrigerator door which was not only a menu plan, but also gave all the available breakfast, lunch and snack options available (and where to find them). LOL

[@gracehill7204]

Coming from a Burb near Chicago I love HEB when I visit my Daughter in San Antonio. The quality and prices I find at HEB can’t be beat plus the people who work there are very helpful.

It went off the rails though. I gave up at book 24- Chaos. (Oh, go figure she took a hiatus after Chaos lol...still not planning to read 25 though.) I think she peaked around book 8, then it's been ugh with the occasional better book after by my goodreads ratings.

[@karincope3019]

@@texadianstitcher yes , her first ones were so much better, I think that is so common with popular authors , they just start pumping out because they can, getting pressure from agents/label to get out more . Some of her books are so good.

I visited the Austin, TX area 4 or 5 years ago and was taken to 2 HEBs. I realize TX has higher food prices than Atlanta, but dang lol, it was expensive. One of them had homemade tortillas, and they were pretty good. I liked the bakery in the bigger store. I always love going to grocery stores in new areas!

[@rssmith289]

Hi Christine, you inspire me to buy only clearance items. I am headed to my Smart and Final now. In CA, there is a .05 CRV on cans of plastic and aluminum. I am going to my local Staples for La Croix; For some reason Staples does not charge CRV on those cans. Just saved .60 on CRV tax for 12 cans!

[@gab514100]

The number one reason that I love HEB is because they treat their employees so well. That's important to me and factors heavily into the stores that I choose. I don't look for clearance items because we can't eat them quickly enough and I don't have storage for extra food. I should look into that...

[@ColleenJoudrey]

My local stores (Eastern, Canada) usually discounts the products and leaves them where they are usually kept but turns the product sideways on the shelf. Every now and then I find items on wire racks near the back corner or in random grocery carts. The morning cashiers usually comment on me "cleaning the store up" because I can easily find a small cart full of highly discounted food.

[@canadiangirl5159]

Freezer video. On organizing it and how not to end up throwing stuff out because it's all freezer burnt. I just did that. I thought I could dehydrate some frozen bags of fruit and turn it into fruit power, but it was freezer burnt. A lot of money is waisted in the freezer.

[@MsRene98]

I know this is an old video but I agree about HEB. I have to pass 7 markets to get to HEB but I seldom go. If there is a heck of a deal in the ad and/or digital coupons I'll do a carefully pre-planned shop. I do walmart, food king and united (Albertsons). Pre-plan like crazy and am all over those digital coupons and weekly ads. There are only 2 of us now and we eat like kings - cheaply!

[@Zhelana]

My local grocery stores never have meats on clearance. You guys are so lucky to have a few to choose from. I love Shannon!! Her channel is really good, I hope you do an actual collaboration soon!

[@MittenPrepperVet]

Loved it! The stores here in the Mitten State are not great lately with the clearance foods since most regular produce is already rotten looking and slim pickings. Now pantry, household and misc items... I've scored some MEGA deals! OTC meds, cereals, sauces, dryer sheets, cleaning products, hygiene items and more... 75 - 80% off.

I happened onto the best shopping time at Costco. One hour before closing on a Sunday night... My grand daughter was jumping out of her skin on a stormy winter night in the midst of a pandemic. We don't normally shop on Sunday... but she had to get some energy out. You know, the Costco workers didn't seemed bothered at all that this 8 year old was roller skating the isles while I got some steps in - and bought nothing. Only 6 cars in the parking lot when I got there and only passed one person in the isles we frequented.

[@No-sv6mu]

I love the 50% off at Jewel (an Albertson store in Chicago). Every once in awhile I find meat way marked down at Aldi too. I have a deep freezer and made friends with the meat department manager at Jewel. So if he needs to move stuff fast he let's me know. 30 pounds of ground turkey breast for 80 cents a pounds? Why yes please give me all the packages!

[@atxbrighteyes]

[@glendahuggins9891]

I found a lot of marked down chicken, cube steak, pork chops in Food Lion on Sunday right after church. Other than that I rarely find good markdowns in my area. What I find is in Walmart has the big sticker, but when I check full price, the markdown is minimal. No produce. Not many grocery stores in my area. I have never seen a food outlet of any kind.

[@tracyw1123]

HEB is the best! They have so many store brand options that are spot-on 99% of the time. Their selections and prices meet/beat the local competition, especially Randall's. Produce and meat is always fresh and the best prices in town. I live near Austin and it seems like a new HEB is opened every few months. My daughter moved to the north Texas area without any HEB stores and is having complete HEB withdrawal, lol.

In Denver we have King Soopers (Kroger Store). I can't shop weekday mornings because of working. Weekend best time is Saturday morning. Preferably 7:30 - 8:00 am. I find that the night crew has marked down products during the night (dry goods). They have several areas for clearance (bakery, meat, dairy, produce etc). My store has a huge markdown shelves by the bathrooms (yes, weird place to describe.). They have the produce rack like you do and a bakery area for marked down items. I love to grab angel food cakes usually at .99 cents. Which is cheaper than the box mix at more than $2.99. I try grab French bread at about 50 cents and can turn into great French toast for breakfast for dinner. The deals aren't always there, but do not give up. They will be.

HEB is a cross between Smith's and Albertson's- the local special (potentially pricey) things and meat from Albertson's, but the better prices of Smith's. My parents live in West Texas and we go to HEB every time we visit from Utah. They have in house deli food that is really good and they all have some kind of cafe type food, too (San Angelo has really good Chinese food, West Odessa has a BBQ joint, east Odessa has the tortillas and sometimes Agua frescas).

Was by the bread aisle and came across 4 wheat breads, 6 white breads and 1 sandwich style loaf of bread, all for the amazingly low price of $.59 a loaf. I pack/make lunches for my husband daily, so I bought them all. Some I will be giving out to family. SCORE!! 😊👍❤ Tammy Lynn Schulz.

Hey is not cheap. But it is comparable to other stores. They usually have a great selection of everything. They also have great pick it up and eat deli like things. So on vacation we can stop at one and pick up meals that I can put in a fridge and microwave or not and save a lot compared to restaurants. They don’t have great sales and the one I go to rarely has manager mark downs.

No Winco or HEB in Florida. Love those prices! We finally have an Aldi. I hate Walmart, but sometimes you gotta do, what you gotta do.

I remember a Mexican restaurant in Tulsa that had a small set up to make tortillas like that. You could watch them make them, but it was practically automated, jut throw the dough on and watch it go. As a kid in the 90s, it was fun to watch while eating your dinner. Sadly, it closed down and became a Dairy Queen that my mom said didn't last long, so now it's just a parking lot. :(

I think clearance availability also depends on your stores microclimate. For ex. if some items are so popular they never get close to their sell by date, they'll never go on clearance. Especially if you live in an area where there's only 1 of that grocery store.

Actively on the hunt. I love that way of looking at clearance shopping.

at my Giant store, they have their clearance cart in the middle of one of the frozen isles? I always thought that was so weird but we’ve gotten glade candles for 30 cents, good brand granola for only a dollar, a at home philbary baking cookie set thing for only a dollar like you gotta check clearance deals
