Its time to stock up for the holidays. I found flour today at Aldi’s. It was $1.19 for 5 pounds! Mind you it was bleached all purpose. But during the holidays I will use it for general cookie baking.

Also I see that Gold Medal Flour is on sale starting tomorrow, (check out Thrifty Mama’s deal at link Sunday at Walgreens 2/$3). That is a great deal. If the flour is unbleached than I would buy plenty of it.

Start thinking about what you use the most during the holidays, flour, sugar, butter, vanilla. And keep an eye out for sales. Usually right before or after halloween Land o Lakes butter goes on sale 2/$4. Start putting aside a couple of extra bucks, so you can stock pile. Because butter prices soar during the holidays. And cookies just taste better with Land o Lakes!
