Philadelphia Steals & Deals Price Hikes by HelpfulHannah

Real Estate Agent with HomeStarr Realty RS143922A

This week I heard some interesting facts in the news. So I am letting you know so we can say we were forewarned . We need to be ready for prices to go up on laundry detergent. Then after that more cleaning items .Proctor & Gamble  will be making the  jump in their items. They are the largest company so we will notice them first. It will happen soon and suddenly . I am really running low so by the time I make it to the store I hope the price will not give me sticker shock . For example, The Brand All liquid detergent scented or unscented 88oz size sale price is $7. 99  BIg Box Liquid size 145 oz size is on sale for $11.99   It is not a Proctor & Gamble product but let's see anyway. We will keep out eyes on it .

Valentines Day is around the corner. It is almost the end of January . February 14th is Valentin's Day. Here is a great idea for the men in your lives  ladies !  Coach sells men's items as well as ladies . A man will smile as he opens a Coach box. Many men might want a power drill, but a nice key fob or cologne may not be something he would purchase for himself . Same thing for a wallet and it will be something he looks at everyday.  Gloves for a man in these chilling cold days a gift most appreciated and ones I have purchased as gifts.  Some of these items are made of the  softest leathers and at these sale prices YES what a STEAL of a DEAL    Free shipping spend over $50   Spend over $150 get a free jewelry box  or men's wallet  + add 15% off become a Coach insider just register 

The Dollar Tree now that it is the $1.25 store we are checking more carefully on the items we purchase. I am still totally amazed at the food. Furmans Texas toast for $1.25  -M&M ice cream sandwiches  -  Cool Whip 8oz  -  Now there is a  unique little trash can that fits into your cup holder looks like a trash can and functions as one cute and does the trick .All clear disinfectant  30 count wipes have a nice lemon smell and works fantastic. Went back for another now have one in the kitchen & one in the bathroom.   Next is LED plug in lights so cute, works and looks better than expected heart, round or square shapes and there were even a few Star Wars baby Yoda . Guess what, they even had a light up LED for the dog collar . Maybe the extra .25 is getting us the good stuff.

My favorite shoe store Hot Foot I am sure everyone has a local shoe store which is a boutique style shoe store . They were having their big end of season sale up to 75% off  (tricky wording ) as Ron and Alexandra Seigel  would say. More or less everything was on sale some more than others . One thing is for sure, if you are not careful you could easily go over your  budget especially when they have a sale. Gita Bantwal would love when I posted local sales and she would love this one as she lives close by. This is a great time to buy stylish boots, sweaters, toppers and coats that you can wear now and then put away for next year too ! 

I had a doctors appointment close by, this shoe store and my doctor and I spoke about the economy and rising prices . I mentioned I was writing this blog and she had me write it down as she wanted to read it. Not much time to shop she said and her last food bill was $500 . Always like to read about what is going on . Then we talked Real Estate . Speaking of which :

Seller's Sales prices continue to rise despite typical seasonal slowdown. There was a 17 percent jump in prices since last year. It is still a very strong seller's market . Right now I have 10 acres of commercial ground listed in Bucks County Nockamixon Twsp  and another piece of ground a double lot in the Bucks County, Bensalem Township  with access to the river or should I say deeded riparian rights

Hi Hannah I am seeing prices go up quite a bit already.  Keep on doing these steals and deals as it's helping all of us figure which paths to investigate.  I don't think we have one of those dollar stores anywhere around us.  There is another one but I don't think it has food - like you're mentioning.

Jan 21, 2022 01:05 PM

Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, Phoenix Broker  Well, so sorry to hear that as you can get fantastic  buys there even in cleaning supplies. Have a great week

Hi Hannah- I've been keeping my eyes on prices as well.  I've also noticed that some items are low or can't be found in the grocery aisle. I'm glad that our store has a lot of its own brands. 

Jan 21, 2022 06:06 PM

Kathy Streib  The weather here is so cold I have not ventured out for laundry detergent. I did hear on the news that store brands were the most economical

Prices go up and wages stay the same or go down, I guess it is the way of the world these days, haha.

Brian England  Whatever increases anyone received are eaten up by inflation

Hello Hannah - thank you for this week's edition of Philadelphia Steals & Deals.  In addition to some bargains and timely information it was also good to see the name of Gita Bantwal mentioned.  I hope she is doing well.

Michael Jacobs  I hope Gita Bantwal is well also . She is missed and I have not heard from her. Perhaps I will give her a call. Joan Cox and she were very close I wonder if they are in touch ?

Good morning, Hannah... I'm always prepared these days for prices to be going up weekly on most everything. I buy my detergent when it's on deep discount at Harris Teeter or I have a coupon for BJ's. Don't do Valentine's Day gifts for my hubby... except for a milk chocolate Lindt Bar. One reason is that his birthday is the day before Valentine's Day... so we don't usually "celebrate" two days in a row.

Jan 22, 2022 06:07 AM
Hannah Williams

Nina Hollander, Broker  well, there you go ideas for a birthday present instead  of Valentine's Day . Please send my Happy Birthday  wishes to him.  Love Chocolate Lindt Bar .

Hannah, thanks for sharing these steals and deals.   When I got my contacts at Costco, bought laundry detergent and Bounce (large size), and will last for months.

Joan Cox That is what I need to do, but it has been so bitterly cold here I have not ventured into the stores.They keep it so warm in the stores and sometimes the lines are so long as there is a shortage of help. It should warm up in a few days

Hello Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP  always nice to see you here. Prices are escalating quickly here in Philly, but one quick news flash was that the City Council is trying to fight the city soda tax only 40% is accounted for - Have a perfect rest of the week 😂

Hello Hannah,  I was always amazed at the lack of shoppers in the dollar stores when they first arrived here.  Such GOOD deals if you shop smart.  They have since caught on but does not stop me from taking advantage of the deals, even with the wait in check out.  Make it a great weekend.  Mark
