I love finding a good deal. I have been doing it for a long time now and one thing that I have learned is you can save on almost everything. One place that people don't realize you can save money at the grocery store. You can clip coupons and shop the weekly deals, but the guaranteed deal is the day-old section. Here's an example of a deal: a half dozen of muffins for at least 50% off. That's a delicious savings. But not all things should be bought from this section.
Example 1.
Let's say you're planning to cook dinner for your significant other and you're cruising along in the supermarket and you are scratching your head to figure out something to make. Oh, what's that? 3 lobsters for $4.99? Think harder. Yes, it is a great deal. But they're dead, thus defeating the purpose of live lobster.
Example 2.
You are in the day-old section rummaging for your weekly dose of cheese danish and scones and you see a bag of ice. You're debating should you or shouldn't you... you shouldn't. But it's only $0.99! It's also just a drippy bag. Drop it and walk away.
Example 3.
You see a durian at the store. Day old? Check. Cheap price? Check. Not moldy? Check. Don't do it. Why? Because no one should buy durian. Ever.
