How do you save on canned food?

I am running low on canned stuff in my pantry, but it seems like I can't find the good sale prices I used to be able to.

I normally just buy Kroger or walmart brand and "doctor" them myself.

But most of the time I just buy fresh or frozen.

There are so many coupons out for Birds Eye frozen or Green Giant frozen that normally my freezer stays packed.

Also Kroger brand of frozen veg is as good as the leading brand.

Smiths has a case lot sale 2xs a year. They just had one a few weeks ago and the next one is in Sept. The prices were really good.

I don't buy too many canned items, but I just watch for when they go on sale at my grocery store and when they do, I stock up. Some items are even cheaper than my grocery store sale prices at Costco or BJ's. So if I'm getting low before a trip to either of those places, I'll stock up there.

I don't really use anything canned, but I do buy when it's on sale plus a coupon.

I usually buy them at my local canned food outlet. They are really cheap there. Also places like Big lots have great deals sometimes. But I have found that Walmarts brand is pretty inexpensive.

Winn Dixie has sales all the time either 10 for $10 or 20 for $10. I usually stock up then. If I miss the sales I buy what I need until I find a sale or search my price book for the best place to buy the cheapest. I always buy store brand and just doctor it up myself.

Do you have access to Aldi's? They have the best price in my area. All of their canned beans, veggies, condensed soups, and tomato products are $0.50, which is cheaper than I can get the generic brand anywhere else.

We don't have Aldi's here, or Big Lots, and I don't think there's a bent and dent either. It seems like even case lot sales and other sales, it's still cheaper to buy the store brand at Walmart. Which never goes on sale.
