Grocery stores tend to have some really good deals during their grand openings, and the new Smith's Marketplace in Lehi is no exception.
I visited the store last night and stocked up on a variety of things, such as boxes of various General Mills cereals for $1 a box, Swiss Miss hot chocolate for 50 cents a box and Gatorade priced at three bottles for $1. I was able to drive down those prices even further, to as little as 20 cents per item, by using coupons.
The store is located at 1550 E. 3500 North in Lehi. The grand opening specials disappear at 11 p.m. tonight, I'm told.
The store was well-prepared late last night for the scores of bargain shoppers loading their carts with sale items. Employees were friendly and helpful, every sale item I wanted was in stock and lines moved quickly.
