"1" shopping at Sam's

I went "1" shopping at Sam's today.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it is when you peruse the aisles for any prices ending in a "1"~ that means that item has been discontinued and is on clearance. You have to know your prices, though~ sometimes the deal isn't that great.

But I found 2 things at the Midlothian Sam's I thought were worth a post. The first was a 6 pound, 9 ounce of De Cecco pasta. It had 3 bags of spiral pasta, and 3 bags of the small tube kind (I dunno what that is called!), and it was on clearance for $2.51! That's less than .50 cents a pound.





Second, I found boxes of 24 Cinnabon cinnamon bars for $4.51 a box. Each box had 3 smaller boxes of 8 each, and that comes out to $1.50 a box, or .19 cents a bar. Not stellar, but still a good deal. My kids LOVE LOVE LOVE these things!








Third, they had boxes of Chocolate Chunk Chex Mix bars on clearance~ I want to say they were $6.xx for a pack of 24. Not as great of a deal as the Cinnabon, but still good. I didn't buy those...something about the chocolate CHUNK of them made me think that they defeated the purpose of a "granola bar' type snack, which in my family means that there is SOME kind of health benefit to it. Even as I'm typing this I realize that the Cinnabon bars don't follow this "granola bar" definition at all either, so just ignore me. I didn't buy the chocolate ones, that's all.

Anyway, happy "1" shopping, everyone!
