I consider myself to be a pretty savvy shopper. I’m not an extreme couponer and I don’t always buy the cheapest brand, but there are very few things that I am brand-loyal to. The majority of my shopping is done at Aldi, and most of the rest at Walmart. I virtually always buy generic or off-brand items unless I’ve already tried it and didn’t care for it.
I re-learned a lesson this weekend, though. For some time I have been buying the White Cloud brand of toilet tissue at Walmart, 12 double rolls for $5.69. On this shopping trip I noticed that the 6-pack of double rolls of the exact same tp is only $2 (I even check sheet #/size). I don’t know if they haven’t had the 6 roll pkg until now, or if I’ve just never looked. That makes the 12 roll pkg 47¢/roll and the 6 roll pkg only 33¢/roll.
I always compare prices on occasional purchases, but you can bet I’m going to be giving a second look to unit price on my regular items from now on!

Isn't that crazy?! I know I need to pay more attention to things like that in general. I bet I'd save us a lot more money. I need someone here to SHOW me how to use a couponing system. I cut them, but then I don't use them. :s
I so need to be checking the unit price. I rarely do. I bet I coould save myself some $!
