I'm Saving You Money on bulk buying.
Sure, it sounds good to buy up a bunch of stuff for later, but if it all goes bad, what have you saved?
One good rule of thumb is only buy what you'll be able to use in three months.
Warehouse clubs are great for saving on produce, olive oil, and meat.
However, when buying produce, choose from the bottom of the pile to get
the freshest.
I talked with "The Supermarket Guru" Phil
Lempert by Skype tonight about the importance of comparing the unit
price when trying to spot a true deal.
He says, "Unit prices
are very important. Bottom line the product might look the same size.
Two examples I'll give you. is coffee.. Most coffee cans are the same
height but they range from 11 oz up to 16 oz so you want to make sure
you're looking at that unit price. Also, icecream What we've seen is
price of dairy that has gone up. Most major icecream companies the
exception being Ben and Jerry's that have taken that pint container 16
oz and lowered it to 14 oz. so you want to make sure you're reading
that label very carefully."
Again, it's all about the unit
price. I've found paper products are often cheaper at the regular
grocer when you use coupons. Find all of my Saving You Money reports at

First lady to high school grads: live your dreams
May 18, 2013 19:28 GMT
By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- First lady Michelle Obama has some advice for some Tennessee high school graduates: strike your own path in college and life and work to overcome inevitable failures with determination and grit.
Mrs. Obama spoke for 22-minutes to the Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Magnet High School in Nashville in her only high school graduation speech this year.
The first lady told the 170 graduates that she spent too much of her own time in college focusing on academic achievements. She said while her success in college and law school led to a high-profile job, she ended up leaving to focus on public service.
Mrs. Obama had this message for the graduates: "Do not waste a minute living someone else's dream."
Mrs. Obama later presented graduate diplomas on stage.
