| This Week's Grocery Ads |
This week's grocery ads came in the mail on Tuesday. Nine different sales flyers, plus I looked up one on-line for one other store I go to on a regular basis.
I no longer look through each and every sales ad. I toss the flyers from the stores I don't usually go to and keep only the 3 or so from the stores I do go to on a regular basis.
Once again, the Armenian store seems to have the best advertised prices on fresh produce:
cabbage for $.25/lb., green bell peppers, tomatillos, red onions, and beets for $.39/lb., plums, apples, and pears for $.49/lb., and red grapes for $.99/lb.
Grapes are $.99/lb. at another store as well, and that store is closer to my house, but their apples and pears are $.99/lb., and plums are $1.49/lb. And they haven't indicated any prices for their vegetables except for ears of corn and cucumber at $.50, each.
I haven't decided yet, which store I will go to or what I will buy. I do want to get some milk, grapes, and maybe some bread.
Which store would you choose?
It would depend a lot on how tired I was, but probably the place that had the better prices.
ReplyDeleteThat would be the Armenian store. They seem to have the best sale prices on produce.
DeleteI would go to the Armenian store. Those prices are awesome. We never see prices this low. And now with the hurricane having impacted our agriculture so much I doubt that our locally grown produce (beans, squash and others) will be cheap for a while.
ReplyDeleteThe hurricanes in both Texas and Florida will have an impact on the prices of a lot of groceries, won't it? Good old supply and demand, I suppose.
DeleteI think you will do fine at the Aremenia store. Those are good prices. Have you considered frozen vegetables? My store has a 16 oz bag this week on offer for .99 - other times it is buy one get one free. I do like you can cook just enough for one or two people. I also love and buy them every week frozen blueberries. Usually have to pay full price for those. I pour a serving out first thing in the morning and by lunch/dinner time perfect with a little plain Greek yogart.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well and your mouth is healing nicely.
Sandy, frozen vegetables are $.99 for 12 oz. bags, here. I buy the frozen green peas and frozen corn, but that is about all. However, when I was in Wisconsin, I used to buy green beans when they went on sale in the summer and blanch and freeze them, myself. Or pick wild blackberries and strawberries and freeze them until I had enough to make jam. My daughter buys some frozen fruits for smoothies, but I rarely do so.
DeleteThe Armenian store sounds good to me. I'd like some plums and pears. I'd also like to try tomatillos. I had to look up what they are and I'm sure I haven't eaten any yet.
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend good bread, cheese and fruit for your lunchbox. Pears, grapes and apples go exceptionally well with cheese.
Jazz
I shall buy some plums and pears for you, Jazz, and some tomatillos, too. I like apples and pears with cheese. I haven't tried grapes with cheese. Tomatillos are used in salsa verde, but I am thinking of making a curry with them.
DeleteI am actually going to travel further afield this morning. I need dog food, and Walmart has the best price for that. So I am thinking I may drive over to a small town called Napanee where there is a WalMart, Giant Tiger and No-Frills store all relatively close to each other. There are some great bargains to be had.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good idea, Susan. You'd probably be able to stock up on a few things, too (if the budget allows) for later, when winter makes such drives a little more difficult. Looking forward to you sharing your buys with us. :)
DeleteThe armenian store sounds like really good prices.
ReplyDeleteThey claim they sell at wholesale prices to the public; they always have good sale prices and it is very possible to keep the grocery bills low if you shop only what is on sale that week.
