Sometimes I find that a sale is really not a sale. You just have to know your prices and carry a calculator. Also, some stores have "Loyalty Programs" that require you to get a club card. I personally don't like it when chains like CVS requires me to sign up with them just to get the lower price. If anyone can walk in and get a lower price by just signing up for a card then it's not a loyalty program. Watch these deals too. Many times they also hike the price up during a buy 2 special. You really do need to scrutinize and carry that calculator with you. That’s a good point when you are budgeting. Sometimes I find that a sale is really not a sale.

Plus they actually put the calculations of the prices on the products for you (like so much per ounce or pound). It definitely makes shopping easier!
