Free Bees: March 2023

 



So far this year we were able to pick up 98 free items.  High inflation is making finding free items a little more challenging and it takes more time.   However, I have set a goal to beat last year’s number (247). My goal for next year is to find 252 FREE Items. This works out to 21 items per month.   


As always, I am able to secure these items through Kroger incentives, Drug Store (Walgreens/CVS)  Rewards programs, sales, Pinch Me, Smart Source, Meijer’s sales/store coupons, sample requests, and Rebates Programs (IBOTTA/SavingStar).   


January (33 items) 

February 2023 (43 items)

Since March has 4 weeks, our monthly budget is $757.20.   We elevate our dining experiences by including fresh fruits, vegetables, and higher-quality meats.  Since we have health concerns and are active individuals, we limit our processed food choices.    Grocery Shopping Tip:     Utilize your grocery store’s loyalty program.
