Pre Summer sales

Summer is just about here and that means grilling, BBQ, hotdogs, and hamburgers.
Looking over the supermarket circulars I noticed (at least here in NYC) that already ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, and other traditional Summer foods and condiments are on sale and selling for... $1.
It might be a major manufacturer's brand like Kraft (use a coupon and get it for even less or free!) or the store's brand but none the less, condiments will keep for a while so stock up for the Summer months while they're on sale! I bought Dijon mustard which comes in handy for making vinaigrette and how often do you see Dijon selling for $1?
Just make sure that you look at the expiration dates and chose the ones that expire later than sooner.

If you see meats on sale (chicken seems to go on sale more often than beef or pork) stock up on them when they are less than a $1 per pound. Here in NYC, Pathmark ran a sale for chicken at 40% off and just recently quarters were 88¢ per pound! While looking over the meats, an elderly shopper came up to me and said that she's never seen such a good price in months and said that she buys two packs, freezing one for another time. Great tip!
