Deals!

Every now and then, I find that there are really good ads at our local grocery stores and these ads may change my shopping trip direction for the week.  Most of the time, I go to Aldi for all of my grocery shopping needs (except for meat and some produce), but because these circulars look so good, I may end up shopping at a few other stores to get the deals available.

Save-A-Lot has another 3 day sale coming up this weekend which looks okay, however, their meat sales this week are really good this week otherwise.  For example, they have chuck roast on sale for just $2.97/ pound.  They also have frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.29/ pound.  Their 3 day sale has boneless pork loin chops for just $1.97/pound.  In addition, they have picnic shoulder pork roasts for $.99/ pound.  Since my freezer is nearly empty (which is rare because I almost always purchase meat every week), I know that Save-A-Lot is going to help me restock and plan some absolutely delicious meals for the coming weeks. 

What's on sale at Tops this week?  Well, since Tops is the most expensive store in my area, they have to have an abundance of deals before I will consider even walking into that store.  The good thing about Tops is that they double coupons and they usually offer good sales to match whatever coupons are in the Sunday paper.  I don't usually coupon because I found that because I cook primarily from scratch, I was spending more money purchasing coupons than I was saving, but for some, Tops is a great go to when you coupon.  This week, Tops has Quaker cereals for $1.88/ box when you purchase 5.  This includes their Life cereal, which my children and husband love.  Since I don't spend more than $2.00 on any box of cereal in this house, these cereals fall below my budget.  In addition to this great deal, they have fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts on sale for $1.77/ pound, and a super coupon for Tops butter that is $2.49/ pound.  I can use more than one super coupon to purchase the butter as long as I do it in separate transactions, so I use the self checkout. 

Guess what's coming to Perinton!!! An Aldi!  That's right!  Next to the RAC for women in the plaza across the street from Wegman's.  TJ and I drove there last night to check it out.  It appears to be just a few months from opening!  I couldn't be happier!  Now, I will be able to go to Aldi for the bulk of my shopping, Wegman's for meat, and Tops for anything that perks my interest and they are all in the same intersection!  No more having to spend money on gas to shop around for the best price!  This is super exciting.  Plus, I don't know if you are aware or not, but Aldi is making some fantastic changes to how they do business.  They are going totally artificial color free, they are offering more organic choices, and they are eliminating farms that use pesticides that are known for killing bees!!  If you like natural, clean eating, than Aldi is definitely a great choice!  In addition, they have a ton of gluten free options for those in need.  Take some time to check out Aldi if you can...it is definitely worth it!
