Cash Saver — Local services in Del City

Cash Saver's is a nice local grocery store. In fact, I would highly consider shopping here for groceries as food prices begin to climb.

They are part of the Homeland Group in Oklahoma City, and they are employee-owned. 10% is applied to the cost of the grocery bill at the register. There are signs plastered all over the store stating this. Considering that Oklahoma Sales tax is about 9%, it's not too big of a jump. Of course, they've had it that way for years.

SAVE ON MEAT

Buying meat from here could help you save quite a bit, especially if you have a family. If you go to the meat section in the back, you will see certain packs of meat that have a sticker label saying 5 for $25.

Also check the frozen food bins behind the meat. There are frozen food items that also have the 5 for $25 sticker on them.

Do not ignore this splendid opportunity!

Any item that has a "5 for $25" sticker is elgible for the "Pick 5". In fact, it will say Pick 5 on your receipt costing you $25. I've used it in the past to combine meat and other frozen food items.

An example would be:

1 pack of chicken drumsticks 1 pack of ground beef 1 pack of chuck steak 1 pack of chicken breast 1 pack of hash brown patties

Obviously, go for the largest and heaviest packs of meat as you combine them into a Pick 5. Be sure each pack has a sticker because they will check at the register.

VALUE SECTION

This is by the exit. Sometimes you will find cookies and food items that are actually products of another country. Just read the labels. Sometimes these are cheaper than the same item elsewhere in the store.

PHARMACY

You can get walk-in COVID shots here. But they do not test for COVID. By the wall there are a lot of Atkins sugar-free snacks for those who are diabetics. So you don't have to go all the way to Walmart to find these.

DAIRY

Dairy is always expensive, but there is a decent variety of dairy brands, including Mexican-style dairy, sour cream, queso, etc. A whole section to itself of Daisy sour cream and other cream cheeses.

MEXICAN AISLE

Check here for inexpensive pasta and other items that might be cheaper than elsewhere in the store.

PRODUCE

Pretty decent prices, especially bags of potatoes. Much cheaper than at Walmart.

ALCOHOL

Pretty good, affordable sangria is sold here. In the refrigerated beer section, I was surprised to see they actually sold German -style hefeweisen. It's the same brand they serve at Garage Burgers. Franziskaner is the brand I saw.

ONE-OFF SPECIALTY ITEMS

Near the sandwich meat section, I was surprised to see a stand- alone rack of pre-cooked bacon. At one time, there was also pre-cooked turkey bacon which turned out to be really good. You have to grab it while it's available.

MONEY ORDERS

The money orders I get from the customer service desk are Western Union and are sold in $500 increments. But one $500 money order is only $0.69 compared to $1 at Walmart.

USE YOUR CASH APP GROCERY BOOST

If you are a Cash App user, and a grocery boost is available, you can use it here at Cash Savers and save 5% on your grocery bill automatically. Save up to $7.50. You'll get the notification on your phone within minutes. I've done that twice. In fact, I did it today. So it's kind of nice to save even more. 10% tax; 5% discount.

If you're a Venmo user, you'll have to check their terms on grocery cash back. But I know it works for Cash App.

This place does NOT have self checkout, so it's a bit old-fashioned. Overall, I think it's a good thing. They do have security roaming near the check out areas every so often.

If you're an impatient shopper who needs to just buy stuff and go, then this place might not be for you.

If you struggle at typical self-checkouts, don't mind the wait at the register to save on food prices and don't mind getting to know your cashier after a while, then you'll be fine.

Some things are pricier here than at Walmart. Other things are not. So you have to shop around, but Cash Savers does offer some decent deals if you know what to look...

BEST Cinnamon Rolls in the State! Baked in the store and under $3.00 for four. The store seems clean enough but the parking lot is dirty. There are a LOT of Ghetto type people hanging around the store and shoplifting inside. The Cop at the front after dark just watches the crooks walk out with their backpack bulging! Every store is turning ghetto as long as the current Government administration allows those kind of people to get food stamps with drug testing or having to at least work a little. The employees in the store have always been very nice and helpful to me when I went in. I'm a big man and also well armed so I never fear this area. Del City has always been a litter rougher around the edges than the surrounding areas but this place isn't bad. The prices are good but you got to watch the added 10%. For instance, the pop is marked at $3.33 for a 12 pack, a good price. When you add the 10% though it make it $3.66 which is more than others sale prices. Overall the prices are good and I shop there. Go in the daytime, save some money and TRY the...

Boyfriend stopped by the Del City location on his way home tonight to grab some medicine. He decided to get our dogs some treats so he went to the dog food aisle. As he was walking by the dog food he saw 2 fat mice eating through the dog food bags. He immediately went to get an employee & she got a manager. Instead of the manager apologizing & going straight to the aisle to look & get the problem taken care of, he questioned my boyfriend on if he was sure that's what he really saw.. then when he saw it with his own, here came the excuses.. this never happens.. They must've came in from outside.. Blah blah blah! It shouldn't matter how or why they're there! If they're there, I'm sure there's more or they've been around the whole store & if they haven't.. they will! NEVER...
