Where to Find the Lowest Price

See which stores have the best deals on everyday household items

So, Where Are the Best Deals?

There is no one best place to buy everything, even though that's what most stores would like you to believe. But it's possible to find good deals by knowing which type of stores generally have fair everyday prices. Here's what I've found by comparing prices in the D.C. metro area when it comes to the best/worst shopping venues for these everyday items:

Reading Glasses

Best buy: Dollar stores

My ophthalmologist says that cheap reading glasses are perfectly fine from a medical perspective, although the frames may not be as comfortable, fashionable or sturdy. At the rate I lose reading glasses, I always buy them for a dollar a pair at the dollar store. A three-pack of nice-looking readers from the membership warehouse store comes in second-best at $18.

Laundry Detergent

Best buy: Membership warehouse stores

Even with special sale prices at the grocery store and coupons, it's hard to beat the everyday low prices on laundry detergent at membership warehouse stores. The trade-off is buying a larger quantity, but brand-name detergents at membership warehouse stores come in around 8 cents per ounce (170-ounce container). A recent sale on the same brand at the grocery store worked out to 11 cents per ounce (100-ounce container). Both options beat the drugstore, which wanted nearly double what the membership warehouse charged. The dollar store no-name detergent averaged 13 cents per ounce.

Soft Drinks

Best buy: Grocery store sales

Soft drinks are a common loss-leader sale item at grocery stores, so it's hard to beat those frequent sale prices that often reduce the cost of a 12-ounce can of soda to 25 cents or less when purchased in on-sale 12-packs. You'll pay about 30 cents per can if you buy a case at the membership warehouse store, and closer to 50 cents per can at a drugstore if it's not on sale. Dollar stores rarely sell multipacks of soft drinks in 12-ounce cans, although the one-liter bottles they typically sell for a buck translates into about 30 cents for 12 ounces.

Greeting Cards

Best buy: Dollar stores

Greeting cards usually sell for a mere 50 cents each at the dollar store. Sure, the quality of the paper and envelopes may be a little chintzy, but the verses inside are just as cheesy as the cards you'll likely pay $4 or more for at other stores.

Printer/Copier Paper

Best buy: Membership warehouse stores

It's hard to beat the prices at membership warehouse stores for office supplies. Be prepared to buy larger quantities and deal with a limited selection compared with office supply stores. Plain printer paper (500-sheet package) costs just about a penny per sheet at the membership warehouse store, compared with 1.2 cents at the dollar store, 1.5 cents at the grocery and 1.7 cents at the drugstore.

Best buy: Dollar stores for off-brands; drugstore sale for brand name

If you're not picky about hair-care products, buying these from the dollar store will definitely get the job done and easily save you two to five times (or more) the cost of the same 15-ounce size bottle elsewhere. If you're looking for brand names, drugstores frequently use selected hair care products as loss-leader specials, often allowing additional discounts for coupons or store loyalty programs.

Paper Napkins

Best buy: Grocery store sales

Our grocery store's house brand matches the dollar store's deal on napkins, both offering 120 super-thin paper napkins for $1. But at the same store, a 240-pack of brand-name napkins was on sale for $1.80, making it the lowest-priced option and offering superior quality. Membership warehouses are often higher on a per-unit basis, in part because the napkins they sell are often "entertainment quality." A spot check at the drugstore found the cheapest napkins selling for nearly double the per-unit cost of comparable napkins at the grocery store.

Best buy: Dollar store

A number of studies, including one by, found that brand-name alkaline AA batteries don't last longer than generic ones. A 48-pack of brand-name AA alkaline batteries at the membership warehouse store reduces the cost to about 38 cents per battery. The grocery store and drugstore charged about $1.20 per battery for the same batteries sold in four-packs. At the dollar store, you'll sometimes find four-packs of generic alkaline batteries for a buck for the best savings.

Artificial Sweetener

Best Buy: Membership warehouse stores

I stock up on those little blue packets at the membership warehouse store, where an 800-packet box costs just $10, or about 1.25 cents per packet. That's a huge savings compared with grocery and drugstore prices, which charge about 2.8 cents per packet in a 125-packet box. Even the generic blue packet sweetener at the dollar store costs more (2 cents per packet per 50-packet boxes).

Household Cleaners

Best buy: No clear winner

Most household cleaners don't list their ingredients on the label, since they're not required to do so by law and the ingredients are considered trade secrets. That means you never really know what you're buying, or how effective the product is. From that perspective, the least-expensive option is the dollar store, where they are about 25 percent cheaper. For me, the cheapest solution is to make your own cleaning products from inexpensive ingredients you know and trust, such as baking soda, vinegar, borax and plain old water.

Paying for Long-Term Care

Learn the basics about who covers what

En español | You're not the only one worried about the skyrocketing costs of long-term care or confused by all the rules about insurance coverage. AARP surveys report that many people mistakenly believe Medicare will cover all the care they'll need as they age. Others think they already have coverage through different types of insurance, only to find out, too late, that they don't. As a result, they may watch a lifetime of savings vanish to pay bills.

See also: Boomer women face retirement crisis.

Most people finance long-term care through a patchwork of options — savings, investments and insurance, as well as government or community services. Here's what you need to know to make your savings last as long as you do:

Medicare pays for a short stay in a nursing home under very strict conditions. In general, you need to be receiving medically related skilled care after being in the hospital for three days or more. Restrictions also apply if you want Medicare to cover services you receive at home. You must need skilled care, such as care provided by a nurse or therapist, and your doctor must order it from a Medicare-certified agency. Medicare does not cover ongoing care or help with personal care, such as bathing or getting dressed.

Private health insurance covers hospital stays, prescription drugs and doctors' visits. Similar to Medicare, it usually pays for short-term rehabilitative services but does not pay for ongoing long-term care you may need down the road.

Women should plan their financial future well to cover long-term care costs- AARP articles to help with advice

You'll probably need a patchwork of sources — savings, investments, and insurance — to be financially secure enough to pay for your long-term care. — Photo by Jim Westphalen/Stock Connection/Aurora

Disability insurance can tide you over if you are too sick to work. It is salary replacement, designed to cover expenses such as food and mortgage payments, if you or your spouse can't work, but most policies max out once you hit 65.

If you can't get a policy through your employer, buy one through an outside insurer. Disability insurance will usually not be enough to cover the extra care and services you need while you're disabled.

Medicaid is a federal and state program that provides health and long-term care services for people with low incomes and few assets. To get long-term care, people must be unable to manage daily activities such as eating, bathing or dressing. Exactly who and what is covered varies from state to state, so be sure to check your state's Medicaid program.

Assisted Suicide Advocate Jack Kevorkian Dies from Blood Clot

Right-to-die advocate Jack Kevorkian has died from a blood clot at the age of 83.

His lawyer, Mayer Morganroth, says Kevorkian died when a blood clot broke from his leg and became lodged in his heart, the Detroit Free Press reports. “Death came naturally” to Kevorkian, the Free Press says. He was hospitalized in Royal Oak, Mich., for kidney and heart problems when he died.

Kevorkian spent eight years in prison after being convicted of second-degree murder in 1999 for aiding the suicide of a man with Lou Gehrig’s disease. He was acquitted in three other cases.

Suspect in bombing of DA's office hoped to delay scheduled sentencing in earlier case, officials say

A man accused of setting off an improvised pipe bomb at a Medford, Ore., district attorney’s office earlier this month was hoping to delay his scheduled plea and sentencing the next day in a home-burglary case, authorities say.

If so, Alan Leroy McVay, 46, got his wish, according to the Mail Tribune.

Tipped to take a look at McVay, police used his own text messages to link him to to the Jackson County case. He is now facing new charges related to the Nov. 13 incident and being held in lieu of $5 million bail.

If the improvised explosive device had detonated the propane tank to which it was attached, the DA’s office would have been leveled, officials said. But the IED didn’t fully detonate, a KAJO article notes, and the device was caught in the blinds when McVay allegedly hurled it through a window, an FBI investigator’s affidavit says.

Man hospitalised after stabbing

Posted December 25, 2003 22:15:00

A 24-year-old Gold Coast man remains in a critical but stable condition in a Brisbane hospital after he was stabbed nine times.

Police say the man was attacked after a fight broke out between two groups at a unit complex in Leonard Avenue at Surfers Paradise.

The injured man was stabbed in the chest, shoulder and neck and rushed to the Gold Coast Hospital before being transferred to Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital.

Police have interviewed a number of people following the attack but are yet to formally charge anyone.

New hope for epileptics

Posted January 31, 2008 09:24:00

Doctors are testing new drugs that could change the way epilepsy is treated.

About one in 100 Australians suffer from the condition, caused by hyper-activity in brain cells.

Some people suffer from as many as 40 seizures in a day.

Traditional drugs work by slowing down all neural activity - but they do not work in about one third of cases.

Professor Phil Robinson is the Head of Cell Signalling at the Children's Medical Research Institute in Sydney.

He has been testing new drugs on rats and has discussed his findings at the Australian neuro-science conference in Hobart.

"First thing one does if one has a new potential anti-epileptic drug is test that they stop seizures and that's what we've just been able to do," he said.

Professor Robinson says the drugs are targeting just the neurons affected by epilepsy.

"It says that the whole idea which was quite a long bow to draw mechanistically is on track. So we're pretty excited because it's a new strategy; a new approach."

Human trials are between one and two years away.

Farmers fear grain rail closure

Posted May 19, 2010 13:33:00

Farming groups say great southern sections of the grain rail network are at serious risk of closure if the Western Australian Government cannot find funding.

The State Government must match a federal offer of $135 million for the network if the funding is to be secured.

Tier three of the rail network is most at risk.

The tier includes the Narrogin to Merredin, the Narrogin to Kulin and the Kondinin to Merredin lines.

WA Farmers Federation transport spokesman, Colin Nicholl, says saving the grain rail network will keep Western Australia up with global demand.

"Our opportunity to capitalise on overseas markets could be put into jeopardy," he said.

"This has happened in Canada before, where their rail system failed to meet their marketers' demands and Western Australian farmers were the beneficiaries of that when we had a much better operating system."

Local governments cutting road maintenance to deal with funding freeze in federal budget

Updated August 12, 2014 10:57:56

Road maintenance has been a casualty in some council areas, local governments say, as they deal with a funding freeze following May's federal budget.

While Tony Abbott promised to be the infrastructure prime minister, his first budget has been bad for regional infrastructure.

The May budget saves nearly $1 billion by freezing indexation of the financial grants to local governments.

That has left councils with little choice but to reduce spending on roads, which are the biggest item on their books.

Many are also trimming spending on child care, libraries and swimming pools.

Audio: Listen to the story (AM)

In regional New South Wales, Cootamundra Shire Council's general manager, Ken Trethewey, says freezing indexation on local government financial assistance grants means his shire will get $1.1 million less over four years than it had expected.

This means road maintenance and services will be scaled back.

"So we'll do a little bit less in the parks, little bit less in the library, little bit less in the swimming pool, little bit less on the main street," he said.

Mr Trethewey says losing grant indexation hits rural councils the hardest.

"Essentially the smaller the population and the more remote those councils are the more they really rely on grant income, particularly financial assistance grants," he said.

"The net effect on a council like ours is really much higher than the net effect on a council in the middle of a city."

Port Pirie council chooses maintenance cuts over rates hike

The regional South Australian council of Port Pirie is losing about $300,000 a year according to chief executive Andrew Johnson.

He says it is cutting back on road resealing.

We just thought... it was unfair to expect the community to pick up the burden that the Federal Government has left us.

Andrew Johnson, Port Pirie council CEO

"It means that the quality of our roads will gradually deteriorate over time if the funding is not reinstated at some stage, which will cause some issues getting people and product around the region," Dr Johnson said.

"You normally have to reseal a road every 10 years in order to keep it up to its maximum life expectancy and its best condition and unfortunately we'll have to extend some of those time periods and do less resealing each year."

Dr Johnson says scaling back road maintenance was chosen over putting up rates.

"We just thought with the increased cost burden across the community, whether it be in water, electricity, council rates and other cost-of-living pressures, that it was unfair to expect the community to pick up the burden that the Federal Government has left us," he said.

Barry Rinaldi, Mayor of the Central Goldfields Shire in Victoria, says roads and services in his area will also be affected.

"We're going to have to attempt to maintain our roads, maintain our childcare centres, our kindergartens, all of the other services that council provide are going to have to be done somehow in a smarter way but the end result will be that the services will have to be reduced," Mr Rinaldi said.

Mr Rinaldi says the Central Goldfields Shire is taking out a $1.5 million loan to try to provide those services.

He agreed there was irony in a council taking out a loan to overcome a cut imposed because the Federal Government is seeking to get out of debt.

"It goes without saying - they're just passing the buck," Mr Rinaldi said.

Infrastructure Minister Warren Truss says while the Government "has temporarily paused indexation of the Financial Assistance Grants program for three years, it will still provide $9.3 billion (to 2017-18) to local government to deliver services and build community infrastructure through the FAGs program".

"The Coalition Government's 2014-15 Budget outlined a $50 billion investment across Australia to deliver vital transport infrastructure, including many large scale commitments which will trigger more than $125 billion in infrastructure investment," Mr Truss said.

Kennedy Helps Tigers Top Terps In Series Opener

COLLEGE PARK, MD (CU SID) -- Shane Kennedy went 4-for-4 with a homer and the go-ahead, run-scoring triple in the ninth inning to lead No. 20 Clemson to a 3-1 win over No. 25 Maryland at Bob Smith Stadium in the first game of a doubleheader Friday afternoon. The Tigers (16-9, 7-3 ACC) took a 1-0 lead in the series over the Terrapins (16-7, 5-5 ACC).

Kennedy’s solo homer in the second inning was the game’s lone run until pinch-hitter Michael Montville hit a solo home run in the eighth inning to tie the score. But Kennedy came through with a triple in the ninth inning to score Steve Wilkerson and later came home on Jay Baum’s sacrifice fly.

Daniel Gossett (3-0) pitched 8.0 strong innings to earn the win. He gave up eight hits, one run, and one walk with six strikeouts. Matt Campbell recorded his fifth save of the year. Reliever Brandon Casas (0-1) suffered the loss for Maryland.

The two teams play the second game of the doubleheader Saturday at approximately 6 p.m.

The Good Samaritan
Luke 10:30 - Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. Luke 10:31 - "And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. Luke 10:32 - "Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. Luke 10:33 - "But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, Luke 10:34 - and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. Luke 10:35 "On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, `Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.' (Luke 10:36 KJV) Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
(Luke 10:37 KJV) And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

   I. a. Hospitals have been named after the person in this story
b. In the USA "Good Samaritan" laws have been passed to encourage passers-by to help those
in need
II. It has been common to apply symbolic interpretations to this parable; for example...
a. The traveler represents man, who has left the heavenly city (Jerusalem) for the worldly one (Jericho)
b. The robbers are representative of the devil and sin, who leave man dying in sin John 10:10
c. The priest and the Levite refer to the Law and its sacrifices, which are unable to help
d. But the Good Samaritan is Jesus, who provides the help needed
e. The wine represents the blood of Christ; the oil, the anointing of the Holy Spirit
f. The inn is the church, the innkeeper representative of the apostles; the two coins representing baptism and the Lord's Supper
III. As interesting as such interpretations may be...
a. Is it really what Jesus is
teaching in this parable? Or does Jesus have some other lesson that He wants us to glean from it?
[In this study I want to offer some lessons that I believe are more in keeping with Jesus'
Original purpose in telling it...]
1. A lawyer stands up to "test" Jesus - Luke 10:25
a. A "lawyer" in this context would be one well-versed in the Law of Moses
b. The word "test" doesn't have to imply negative; it may simply mean the man was seeking to
Ascertain Jesus' faithfulness to the Law
c. But there are some implications that he was seeking to trick Jesus...
1) He "stood" up, perhaps to draw attention to himself
2) Later, he sought to "justify" himself with another question; implying he was interested in more than just a
Simple answer to his question
d. His question was similar to that asked by the rich young ruler (Luke 18:18): "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit Eternal life?"
2. Jesus answers the question by pointing him back to the Law - Luke 10:26
a. In so doing, Jesus shows His own confidence in the Law
c. In a similar manner Jesus pointed the rich young ruler to the Law - Luke 18:20
b. Keep in mind that at this time the Law was still in force, so the answer was still to be found in it - cf. Mt 5:17-19
3. The lawyer replies with a proper understanding of what the Law taught concerning eternal life - Luke 10:27-28
a. He quotes from Deu 6:5 and Lev 19:18
b. Both which Jesus quoted to another lawyer on a later occasion - cf. Mt 22:34-40
c. Upon these two laws, one to love God, the other to love your neighbor...
1) The entire Law was based
2) Those living while the Law was still in force could live, be saved)
4. But the lawyer is not finished... - Luke 10:29
a. He desires to "justify" himself (was he embarrassed
Jesus answered him so easily?)
b. He asks the question that precipitates the parable: "And Who is my neighbor?"
1. A man travels from Jerusalem to Jericho, and is beaten - Luke10:30
a. A distance of about 20 miles 33 KM
b. A dangerous road, known as "The Way of Blood" because of the robbers
c. Stripped of his clothing and wounded by thieves, he is left half
2. Two pass by, doing nothing - Luke 10:31-32 a. The first was a priest; the he second was a Levite
b. Both of these were of the religious elite in Israel at that time
3. A Samaritan comes by and shows compassion - Luke 10:33-35
a. Samaritans were despised by the Jews
b. (John 4:9 KJV) Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
1. They were the descendants of those imported at the time of the Assyrian captivity (cf. 2 Ki 17:24-41)
c. Yet this Samaritan who would have been despised by the Jews shows compassion
1) He bandages the wounds, applying oil and wine (first aid in those days)
2) He puts the wounded man on his own animal and takes him to an inn
3) He gives the innkeeper two denarii (two days' wages) to provide care
4) He tells the innkeeper to spend whatever it takes, and he will repay him when he comes again
1. He poses the question: Which of the three proved to be a neighbor? - Luke 10:36
2. The lawyer replies with the obvious answer: "He who showed mercy on
3. Jesus then admonishes the lawyer to do likewise
      4. Notice that Jesus turned the focus of the original question...
a. From "Who is my neighbor?" to "Who was the one that was neighbor to the one in need?"
b. This indicates that Jesus sought to draw attention to what it means to "Love your neighbor as yourself"
[The purpose of the parable, in view of the context and the manner in which Jesus applied it, is clear:
Jesus teaches who our neighbors really are, and what it means to love your neighbor as yourself.
Here are some lessons that can be gleaned from the parable when its purpose is kept in mind...]
1. One might think that a neighbor is one with whom we share similarity
a. Such as being of the same race, nationality, or religion
b. I.e., anyone who is not considered your enemy
2. Yet Jesus put such a concept to rest by using the Samaritan as an example
a. The
Samaritans were different in race, nationality and religion from the Jews
b. There was animosity between them - cf. (Luke 9:52 KJV) And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
(Luke 9:53 KJV) And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
c. Though considered enemies, the Samaritan was helping a Jew in need
3. And so it is that Christians are to show "hospitality" (lit., love of strangers") - cf. Ro 12:13; Mt 5:43-48; Gal 6:10
-- Your neighbor, then, is anyone in need whom you have the ability to help!
1. Of the three passers-by in the parable, the first two should have been the first to help
a. The priest and the Levite should have been
influenced by their religion to help
b. Indeed they were taught to love the stranger - (Deu 10:17 KJV) For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
(Deu 10:18 KJV) He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
(Deu 10:19 KJV) Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
2. When they separated neighborliness from their religion, they became hypocritical
a. For the priest would teach the Law, and the Levite would assist in the service
b. But failing to "practice what they preach" showed how shallow their devotion to their faith really was
  3. As Christians, we need to be sure to practice "pure and undefiled religion", otherwise we deceive ourselves - (James 1:27 KJV) Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
-- What kind of religion do we have?
1. A willingness to cross social barriers
a. As Jesus illustrated in using a Samaritan in this parable
b. There should be no religious, racial, or national barriers to showing compassion!
2. A willingness to take risks
a. The Samaritan took a great risk by stopping to
1) What if the robbers were still near by?
2) What if other thieves came by on this road known as "The Way Of Blood"?
b. So Christians are called upon to take risks (Luke 6:30 KJV) Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
1) How do we know people won't take advantage of our generosity?
2) Perhaps this is an area where we need to have faith in God
3. A willingness to set aside busy schedules
a. The Samaritan was on a journey, but took the time to stop and care for the man
b. Jesus taught us to take the time to show compassion even when forced - (Mat 5:41 KJV) And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
1) The first mile may have been forced
2) But the second mile was one to be given out of
A willingness to make sacrifices
a. The Samaritan sacrificed more than just time and energy
1) He used some of his own provisions - Luke 10:34
2) He even offered an open-ended agreement to provide for his help - Luke 10:35
b. Jesus taught His disciples to be willing to make sacrifices Luke 6:29-30,34-35
c. In so doing, we are truly followers of God and walking in love - Ep 5:1-2
1. With the parable of "The Good Samaritan", we are challenged to a higher standard of love
Higher in that the definition of "neighbor" is more inclusive
b. Higher in that the definition of "compassion" is greater
2. This should not be surprising in light of what Jesus told His disciples earlier:
"For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." (Mat 5:20)
c. Therefore let us heed the words of Jesus to the lawyer who tested Him:"Go and do likewise."
Of course, without the salvation that Jesus makes possible, no degree of righteousness is possible... -
cf. Ac 2:36-38; 22:16
1. Go To People Who Have A Need.

2. Truly Be Concerned For Hurting People

3. Put Action With Your Compassion

4. Use Your Resources To Minister

5. Always Go Beyond What Is Required To Meet A Need

God bless you and yours!
