THE Christmas season is fast approaching and price-conscious consumers are looking for deals.
Holiday favorites like eggnog can have wildly varying prices, but discounts and sales can be difficult to monitor.

The US Sun is tracking the cheapest places to buy holiday favorites, and with pre-Thanksgiving sales in effect, the best value eggnog is at Kroger.
The chain is offering a half-gallon of the dairy beverage for $4.
However, it’s technically not the cheapest deal, as Trader Joe’s and Target both offer a quart for just $3.
But with a price difference of a few cents for doubling the drink, Kroger’s Nog offers the best value.
