JoAnn's Grocery Picks for the Week

I'm getting an early start this week. I must point out that both Sobeys and Superstore flyers begin on Fridays now, not Saturdays. This adds to Canadian Tire and Zellers which have always begun on Fridays.
Superstore This week they are featuring 2 "deals"
1. spend $250 and get a Rubbermaid container set free (valaue $29.99)
2. Saturday and Sunday save double the GST on all purchases
So, I'll list some of the electronics that are featured. Just in case you want to take advantage of the double GST savings.
Wii console $149.99
Sony Bravia 46" LCD tv $999.99
Sony progressive scan DVD $44.99
Garmin 255W GPS $159.99
Sony cybershot 14mp camera $149.99 (red, black or silver only)
Of course any other non-food purchases will also be reduced by double the GST (10%)
Roseart pencil crayons 24 pk $.79
Down under shampoo or conditioner 1L bottle $2.50
Cottonelle toilet paper (the soft stuff) $5.97/12 double rolls
Dial body wash $3.00
Lean hamburger $1.78/lb or $3.92/kg
NN frozen entrees $.80
NN perogies $2.88/2kg bag
Kaiser buns $1.89/doz
PC crisp thins crackers $1.25/box
NN soda crackers $1.50/box
Neilson yogurts 3/$1.00
grapes, red or green $.96/lb
peaches $.77/lb again this week
pears $.98/lb
whole mushrooms $1.99/lb pkg
zucchini $.78/lb
broccoli $.96 ea

NoFrills
Delissio pizza $3.47 (I think this is the kind you like Liesel)
Eye of round roast $1.77/lb or $3.90/kg This will redeem myself from the great faux pas from last week. I put in the sirloin tip roast at Save-on from an expired flyer. But this is $.22 cheaper and a better cut. So, I hope I'm back in the good books. Thanks NoFrills.
Schneiders sausage, beef burgers and a few other packaged meats 400-450g $1.67. I'm not familiar with these products, but at $.40/100g it's worth investigating.
Huggies Mega diapers (40-84's) $9.97 Is this a good price? I'm a bit out of touch these days.
Body Wash (Olay, Ivory, Gillette and Old Spice) $2.97

Some items carried over from last week:
Fresh chicken breast $2.36/lb or $5.20/kg This is a bit more than my target price, but if you are running low, you can get some to tie you over till a better price comes along.
PC chicken strips or nuggets $9.49/2kg box
frozen wild salmon fillets $3.77/lb
Campbell's ready to eat soups $.94 each
Wonder buns $.95/doz
Kellogg's cereals $2.47
Nestle water 24pk $1.97
Kraft spreadable cream cheese $2.79
Unico Pasta $.94 each
Blueberries $1.17/pint
Fanta, A&W root beer, Crush pop 2L $.95

Sobeys Tuesday's 15% discount days. I'll list the flyer price and then Tuesday's price with 15%
grapes, red, green or black $.99/lb $.84/lb
unsliced bread 4pk $3.99 $3.39 or $.85/loaf
pork ribs $1.99/lb $1.69/lb
Bulk wieners - regular or BBQ $1.69/lb $1.43/lb (that's $.32/100g)
Imperial Marg 3lb tub or squares $2.99 $2.54 So if you didn't stock up when it was $2.99 at NoFrills, here's an even better chance
Colgate 2/$3.00 2/$2.55 That's $1.27 each 75-130 mL tube
Oops. I just found a better price for colgate. $.99 at Zellers (but according to the flyer, only the 75 mL tubes)
Don't forget to get milk, and eggs while on your Tuesday trip and capitalize on your savings.

Zellers
Jim and Amy, tuna (truly brand) $.69 Getting better.
Purex 30-50 rolls $9.99 Friday and Saturday only
Canned Mushrooms $.50/can Friday and Sat. only
Mr. Doudas par boiled or chinese rice 8 kg bag $5.99. I am not familiar with this particular brand, but it is a good price. I usually buy the 18 kg bag for $26. The above price would be only $13.50 for an 18 kg bag. Friday and Sat only.

Canadian Tire
46 piece plastic storage $9.99 (reg $24.99) Skip trying to purchase $250 at Superstore. This looks just as good and has more pieces.
Need new cookware? KitchenAid 10 piece set, with bonus frying pan. $118.79 (70% off)
I'm going to try the solar light set - Stainless steel 10 pk for $29.99 (reg $89.99) I'll let you know what I think.
Need a second freezer, or just in the market for your first? This Danby 7 cu. ft. chest freezer is a decent price at $249.99
How about a 2-in-1 car seat? 22-80 lbs. Converts to a booster seat. Reg $159.99 $99.96
garbage bags $1.97/box of 40 Saturday only
Glad zip lock sandwich bags $.99 Saturday only
Anyone used an Infinity vacuum? Is it made by Dyson? It looks like it has the same cyclone set-up. I'd like a "true consumer report" if anyone has one to share.
Purex toilet paper 24 single rolls $4.99. I do believe this is the same equivalent as the big pkg at Zellers. Pretty close anyway.
I don't have the rest of the flyers yet, so I'll try to get them posted soon.

  1. I'm just gonna add for those who shop at Save-On, you can recieve a free roast chicken when you redeem 4000 points. I personally don't save my points for anything and would rather get a free chicken then some useless appliance. That's 3 meals for my family.
