Kids' Clothing Sales
Just a reminder about the Twin & Triplets garage sale this Saturday 10-4pm at Davenport Church of Christ.
Next Sat (Oct 1) there is a sale in Pehold, I believe at the new multiplex. This is where people rent their own tables to sell their clothing so you do have to go through multiple tables to find what you want.
Then on Sat Oct 15 is the Turnovers sale in Delburne, 8-12 I think. This is my favorite by far. I've started making it a girls morning out and we go with 2-4 ladies to save on gas.
I'm not committing to any of these sales this year but if there's no baby, I'll probably be there.

Kellogg's Raisin Bran Jumbo size, Vector, Just Right or Special K $5.97, reg $8.49
Imperial Margerine quarters or soft tub $2.99, reg $6.37 - NOTE this is not non-hydrogenated
Prima Gattie peaches $0.96/lb
Black Diamond cheese 700g $6.99 (walmart price is better, just barely)

Sun-Rype 1L juice $0.98 (better than WM)
Kraft PB 1kg $2.99
Blockbuster - save 70% off all movies. I went today and there wasn't much for kids but lots of adults. Think stocking stuffers, birthday prezzies, etc. At these prices it's cheaper to buy than rent.
As usual there are no rocking deals on produce.
Nutrition tip of the week: take a look at your cart - does it match Canada's Food Guide? Is it mostly vegetables, fruits and whole grains with smaller amounts of milk products and meat? Or is it full of processed grain products that don't really count and a token bunch of bananas?
Grocery tip of the week: Turkeys: Grade A - really pretty bird, 'well-shaped, meaty with even fat covering' Utility - 'minor skin tears or one or more parts missing (ie. wing tip)'. So, if your guests aren't going to see the bird and there is a big difference in price, buy the Utility grade or Butch as we affectionately call her (please google Dave Bakes a Turkey from Vinyl Cafe to understand this reference).
Happy Shopping. Let me know if you have any shopping or nutrition questions for JoAnn or myself. Otherwise, I'll keep inserting totally random facts.

Red Deer Twin & Triplets Garage Sale
The Red Deer Twin and Triplet Club is having their annual garage sale this Saturday!!! its at a church in Deerpark "Davenport Church of Christ 68 Donlevy Ave... 10-4 Also there will be vendor tables set up!! Come support your local Twin and Triplet Club :)
DIRECTIONS: go to the end of Ross street and turn Right, it's the church immediately after the corner store.
According to Emily, everyone prices their things separately so you can sometimes get some good deals (I agree). Last time we were there at closing and one of the moms was giving away some of her stuff! Just like a real garage sale. Anyone can attend; there's always lotsa single stuff. I've been going for years, long before I cared about the cute "twinsy" clothes!
As well, it's not just 'twinsy' clothes. These families are putting in all their kids' clothing and the last one I attended had clothing from newborn up to around 8years or older. There was toys, maternity, etc.

Cauliflower $1.68 each
Casa Mendosa tortilla (10/package) 2/$6
Yves Veggie Ground Round (vegetable based protein) $8.99/1.248kg
I love this stuff as a ground beef replacement. It's already cooked and you just add to things like chili and lasagna. Different taste but healthier. I recommend at least 1 meatless meal a week.

Rancho Vingola Order
I generally only post 'deals' but in this case, this isn't low priced food. We do not get any financial gains from promoting this company but, let me tell you the organic Mexican Mangoes are to die for.
Please see below for info on ordering bulk dried fruit, nuts, etc. Good quality products, generally can only order once a year. If you have questions contact the company directly or call Emily.
For anyone wanting to order from Rancho Vignola, they can contact Emily Berg and she will add them to her order. That way we don't each have to order the min $500. She is going to try to try to order on Friday, Sept 23 in the hopes that we are higher up the list and get our order faster this year!
So Emily's deadline is Thursday, Sept 22 (or Fri early morning if you're up late online!).
Rancho Vignola's Wholesale Ordering Season Begins!
Our 2011 wholesale price list and product information documents are now available on our website and we will be ready to receive your orders within a few short days.

Additional Superstore Deals
Clearance on summer candy. Big box of freezies, reg $11.99, now $2.84 (I'm pretty sure sugar will keep for a year). Whoppers $0.84 (I'm addicted, just don't look at the fat content), a few others.
In the aisle with lightbulbs, electrical plug-in stuff (can't remember the number) there are lots of clearance items including timers for your lights or slowcooker, power bars and of course, light bulbs.
9kg (20lb) cases of peaches on for $18.98 this week. I hope they are good.
And, just as an FYI, they now have a natural/organic aisle where you may find some of your favorite foods have moved to such as Kashi Go Lean cereal, Kashi crackers, Mary's GF organic crackers.

Some Deals This Week
First Tuesday of the month: Discounts at Sobey's, Save-On, Safeway, Nutter's, anywhere else?
Superstore:
Spend $250 get a $25 gift card OR hangers ($29.99 value)
I highly recommend you get a flyer and check it out, lots of good deals:
Purex TP 15 double rolles $6.97
Tide detergent $9.97 (reg $15.97)
Brocoli $0.96/bunch (this is one of those superfoods we should be eating all the time)
Dan-Active 8 pack drinkable yogurt $3.99 + dep (reg $6.19 each)
Black diamond cheese strings 28 count $7.99, reg 10.99
SunRype Fruit-to-Go $0.25 each, reg $0.40
BUT, they are 72/$15.99 ($0.22 each) at costco this week (I was there Thursday and got that price, not sure when they change their prices).
Cascade 2in1 action packs 44-54count $10.97, reg $13.97
Bartlett pears $4.98/6lbs
Canteloupe $1.46 each
vine ripened tomatoes $0.86/lb
Degree or Secret antiperspirant $1.64, pretty sure this is a great deal
School supplies - lots on discount now, stock up on crayons and felts just because they are fun
Black Diamond cheese $6.99/700g - best deal by far - I don't like to pay more than $1/100g and you don't find this often. Unfortunately, you can't often find the low fat (<20MF) cheese for this price often.
Nature Valley granola bars $1.67/box, reg $3.57 (I generally only recommend Kashi or Nature Valley granola bars, all the rest are in the other/junk category)
Raisin Bran (675g) or Mini Wheats (445-555g) $2.77, reg $5.26
Wal-Mart
Grapes $0.97/lb. Stock up now. Winter's coming.
Bartlett Pears $0.88/lb
Cantaloupe $1.47 each
seedless oranges $.97/lb
Cauliflower $0.97 each (again, like brocoli, eat this veggie)
Costco:
If you missed out on the 8 cent photos, they will be 10cents from Oct 31-Nov 13.
Old Navy
Jeans & Hoodies - buy one get one free this weekend
On a final note, if you're ready to take the plunge into home canning, Superstore had a kit with the big pot, tongs, large funnel, recipe book and a few other goodies for the low price of $39.99. It's on the bottom shelf of aisle 1 (I had to ask because who puts canning stuff next to the pop?)
And, if you don't know what you're doing, check out the Atco Blue Flame Kitchen for the most up-to-date canning information and recipes. I recommend everyone checks out this site.
I'll leave the rest for JoAnn.
