Local Calendar Avoiding ‘Everyday Low Prices’ Q: "I have been trying to cut my grocery bill with your advice on coupon shopping. For some reason, I never find any of the great deals you refer to. I normally shop at a national everyday- low-price supercenter. Please help me. It is so frustrating to hear about all these savings that I am not getting." A: Many shoppers believe they’ll save more money shopping at an "everyday low price" (ELP) store versus a traditional supermar- ket. ELP stores work hard to mar- ket themselves as less-expensive alternatives. They proclaim loudly "We are cheaper!" But are they? It’s true that prices are not too high at an everyday low price store. They’re also not too low. An ELP store prices its products at a middle-of-the-road level. Unlike a traditional supermarket, it does not cycle prices from week to week. You might call a traditional supermarket a "high/low" store. On any day, about half the products at the supermarket will be priced higher than what you might find at the ELP store. But the other half of the products will be priced lower. Savvy coupon shoppers watch price fluctuations at supermarkets, then move in with coupons to get even lower prices. I rarely shop for groceries in ELP stores. Their prices simply do not dip low enough to beat the prices I can get up at a supermar- ket. Before writing this column, I visited a supermarket and an everyday low price store for a price check on some national brands. Here’s what I found: • 64-ounce bottle of grape juice: $3 supermarket / $3.49 ELP store • 32-ounce bottle of laundry detergent: $3.99 supermarket / $4.97 ELP store • 14.5-ounce box of honey granola cereal: $1.49 supermarket / $2.97 ELP store The supermarket beat the ELP store, hands down. The cereal is $3.99 when it’s not on sale. But why would I want to buy it when it’s not on sale? If I simply wait for the super- market sale and stock up when it comes, I will save a great deal of money even without using coupons. sider, too. Many supermarkets use check-out devices, popularized by Catalina Marketing, that print out coupons good for money off your next shopping trip. On my compar- ison-shopping trip, my supermar- ket offered a $1 Catalina for the grape juice. With a $1 coupon, I paid $2 and got $1 back. The cost of the juice to me was just $1. But at the supercenter, even with my Jill Cataldo Coupon Queen There are other factors to con- coupon I would have paid $2.49 – more than twice the price for the same bottle of juice! There was a similar deal on the detergent. The supermarket offered a $1.25 Catalina for buy- ing it. With coupon, I paid $2.99 and got $1.25 back, making the final price just $1.74 – again, less than half the price I would have paid at the supercenter. Back to the cereal. My supermarket offered a $6 Catalina for buying 5 or more boxes. Without any coupons, 5 boxes would cost me $7.45 and I’d get $6 back with the Catali- na. Now, $1.45 for 5 boxes of cereal is already a deal… but with two coupons offering $1 off for the purchase of 2 boxes, I paid $5.45 and got $6 back. The supermarket "paid" me 55 cents to take that cereal home! As a student in one of my Super- Couponing classes recently said, "You couldn’t pay me to shop any- where other than my favorite super- market… because they do!" Jill Cataldo, a coupon workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal. E-mail your own couponing victories and questions to jill@ctwfeatures.com. Lassen vehicle use map Lassen National Forest released this week its first free Motor Vehicle Use Map. The map, available at Lassen offices and at fs.usda.gov/lassen, displays which roads and trails are available to wheeled vehicles, which roads require highway-legal vehicles and which are subject to seasonal restrictions, which may include bans on areas prone to erosion or where noise would interfere with nesting season. The map covers the entire Lassen National Forest and is broken into eight pieces. The map will be implemented at the same time as new trail identification signs reflecting the roadway designations, and law enforcement is expected to emphasize education over punish- ment. Odd •A woman, reportedly living under a bridge, was seen carrying a BB gun Wednesday evening at the Del Taco drive thru, though she at no time used the gun in a threaten- ing manner. • A woman reported a break-in Thursday evening on Bowman Road when she found her dog outside and her cat inside, the opposite of where each was supposed to be. Nothing was miss- ing, and police found no signs of forced entry at the residence. Collisions • Two people were sent to the hospital with minor injuries following a three car collision at 12:15 p.m. Wednesday on Highway 99E at the intersection with South Avenue near Corning. Marcos Rendon, 20, of Corning made a left turn onto South Avenue from Highway 99E directly in front of Mark Fowler, 49, of Paradise who was dri- ving south on 99E about 65 mph. Fowler tried to swerve right to avoid the collision, but was unable to do so. After the impact, Fowler’s vehicle contin- ued south where it hit a vehicle driven by Angeli- ta Melendrez, 33, of Orland who was just turn- ing onto 99E from South Avenue. Melendrez’ pas- sengers, a 12-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy, both from Orland, were taken to Enloe Medical Center. No alcohol was involved and all occupants were wearing seatbelts. • A two-car collision at 2:48 p.m. Wednesday at Highway 99W and Gerber Road sent Nicholas Beatri- ci, 27, of Redding to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital with minor injuries. The other driver, Larry Chain, 36, of Red Bluff was uninjured. Beatrici was westbound on Gerber Road and didn’t yield right of way to Chain, who was driving north- bound on 99W, pulling out directly into the path of Chain’s vehicle. Both vehi- cles had major damage. Spring/Summer Veggies Buy 1 get 1 FREE
