Had a grocery store employee tell me I was buying the wrong size yogurt
I was at the Walmart on Main Street last Tuesday grabbing my usual single-serving yogurts for lunch. An older lady stocking the dairy section pointed at the 32-ounce tubs and said those are way cheaper per ounce. I did the math right there and she was right, the big tub costs about $0.12 per ounce versus $0.35 for the little cups. Now I buy one big tub and portion it into small containers myself, saves me around $4 a week. Anyone else had a random stranger save them money on something simple like that?

Hitting it with a cheese grater is way faster than you'd think.

Yeah this EXACT thing happened to me with cheese. I used to buy those pre-shredded bags and a deli worker told me to just get a block and shred it myself. I thought she was crazy at first but she showed me the price per pound difference and it was like double the cost for the shredded stuff. I timed myself one Sunday and it takes me maybe 3 minutes to shred a whole block and I save like $2 a week. The big thing nobody tells you is the shredded cheese has that powder coating to stop it from clumping so it doesn't melt as good either. Now I do this with yogurt too just like you and honestly it feels like I'm stealing from the store sometimes with how much I'm saving.
