Yes, it sounds a bit icky -- yogurt on clearance. But, I really would never buy a small container for $1.29. I love the Price Chopper on West Mountain Street in Worcester, MA. There is a small frig occasionally devoted to these rejects. On my last visit, Dannon Oikos Fruit on the Bottom Greek yogurt was $1 off via orange peel by the cashier only sticker. The expiration date was approaching, but not for another 5 days. The deal was great for 29 cents a container -- 12 grams of protein, 170 mg potassium, 15% calcium and vitamin D. It got even better with my collection of 75 cents off three container coupons I had from various blinky machines. Total cost for three containers regularly priced $3.87 - $3 clearance coupon - 75 cents = 12 cents or 4 cents each!
Stock up on your yogurt coupons and look out for reduced prices due to approaching expiration dates at your grocery store.

On the Bright Side at Wegman's
My toddler has now switched allegiances from loving CVS to Wegman's best. CVS used to be his favorite because of the rack of sporty cars they sell. I did buy a few, my most recent one (a white New York luxury bus) I used a 25% off store coupon on, making the $4.99 pricey price tag somewhat easier to pay (the rest was paid with rewards bucks).
That rack of cars cannot compare with what they have at Wegman's, however. How can you beat a Thomas the Tank engine fan's love for an actual, moving, sounding choo-choo train above the dairy section? They also have a small track set with one freight car in the seating/dining section by the prepared foods/ take-out section. All of that, combined with the spacious room to roam, great children's book section, and the occasional rooster popping out above the mocha and latte area, and we've got a winning store.
Of course I love what my children love. With my husband very sick all week and needing two prescriptions filled, where then did I turn? Wegman's of course. And the deal was fantastic! A household's first 5 new or transferred prescriptions come with a $20 store merchandise coupon. With the meds coming out to only $11, we made out with $29 in free groceries. Well, not everything was food -- I succumbed and bought a Wegman's truck (which is actually a PEZ candy dispenser) with the same sunny side egg picture one of the freight cars features. So, despite the somewhat depressing tempo of having a loved one ill, Wegman's once again brought out the bright side to shopping.
