Found some awesome stock-up prices at QFC today! I ended up spending $27.58 and saving $66.15! Not too shabby – a lot of the items I bought were on manager markdown, so there are even more savings not calculated into that total.

    Wow, thanks for the heads up on those screaming deals! I went this morning and there was still tons of inventory (except for the taco shells). I walked out with 3 full grocery bags for less than $20.

    Thank you for this post. Gotta love their Manager’s Specials. That beautiful stand of taco shells was gone (one box left on shelf but peelie gone). Overall, I saved 63% this morning, and I love the stuff I was able to get.

    Those are awesome prices! The Fred Meyer in my neighborhood has their over-priced left-over Easter candy marked down to 25% off and no one is buying it. They have a lot of it. I wonder if they will mark it down again.

    Is the manager markdown kind of like a clearance price, so it is only good if there is something there when you go in?

What they’re saying

Queen Bee has been my go to for many years. Not only how to save on the family grocery budget. But, how to shop. From grocerys to clothes to household. She has saved us hundreds, if not thousands of dollars cumulatively over the years. Thank You! Debby F.

Queen Bee has been one of my favorite pages to follow! A friend kept sharing her deals so I had to start following and I’m so glad I did. I have been able to purchase so many items at great prices because of her posts. She is great about commenting back to questions or even just saying thanks to people who let her know they picked up an item she posted! Christine R.

Queen Bee is an amazing site with great deals no doubt, but my favorite parts are the snippets of silliness, morning coffee, amazing second hand finds. Queen Bee has saved me lots of money, but it's also brightened many a days! Tilla H.

Queen bee has helped me to make Christmas awesome for my kids every year. We follow the blog and are able to stay in budget and get twice as many items for the family. They are the best!! Jessica T.

Can always count on QueenBee for great deals from many different stores ! She's always keeping us well informed, saved a lot throughout the years, been following for a good 7 years ! Cathy L.
