JoAnn's Grocery Picks for the Week

Well, here's my second attempt. I had to leave 3/4 through the first one and when I came back . . .it was gone. Kids - gotta love 'em!
I'll see if I can remember what I was saying.
First of all this coming week is discount days at the following stores:
Safeway, Save-on, Sobeys, Nutters, Co-op (Monday), Living Nutrition (EVERY Tuesday. Located Gaetz Northbound between Hitch Warehouse and Boston Pizza.

NoFrills:
green or red grapes $1.67/lb Not spectacular, but it is off-season
English Cukes $.97 ea
English Muffins $.99/6 pk
Imperial Marg $1.99/2lb tub
Purex laundry (liquid) 40 loads $3.97. I mentions this because in the SmartSource flyer (found in Wed flyer bundle)is a coupon for $2.50 off when buy 2 jugs. I will save the few I have, but I'm sure Alisha won't be using the 40 she has lol
whole toupie-style ham $1.79/lb or $3.95/kg
fresh pineapple $1.97 (non clue how big they are)
Black Diamond cheese strings $4.44/336g I don't buy these, but it says save $2.85
Delmonte canned vegetables $.79/can Good alternative to frozen for your food storage

IDA Drugs (Westpark and Mountview)
Admiral tuna $.66/can If you are holding out for $.50/can Im sure it will show up in the next few months.

Rexall has 2 pages of coupons that range from $1.49 - $10.00 off various products. Since their prices generally higher than other stores, if you know who accepts competitors coupons, you could save even more. I see there is a $10 off coupon for Oral-B replacement heads for electric toothbrush, which incidentally I need to get. But can someone tell me who will accept this coupon? Superstore? London Drugs?
I have at least 30 extra flyers and will have them till Monday when they go out for recycle. Come on over. They are in the blue garbage can by the front door.

Co-op (Monday should be 10% off, but you may want to double-check)
McCain pizza $3.99
Avocados $.67 Never bought these, but I understand this is a good price
Cheez Whiz $4.99/kg jar

Safeway (Tuesday 15%)
Boneless chicken breast $26.36 but would be only $22.40 on Tuesday
green grapes $1.79 $1.52 on Tuesday
Post cereals $3.00 each $2.55 on Tuesday
Glade solids or aerosols $1.00 $.85 on Tuesday

Sobeys (Tuesday 15%)
colored peppers $2.49/lb $2.11 on Tuesday
Axe products $3.79 $3.22 on Tuesday, plus there's a $2.00 off coupon on Redplum (Thurs flyers)
mushrooms $1.99/lb $1.69/lb on Tuesday
navel oranges $.69/lb $.59/lb on Tuesday
French bread $.99 $.84 on Tuesday

Superstore - free case of mangoes with $175 purchase
pineapple $1.96
cocomuts 2/$3.00 Don't know, but I may have to get one just for fun
apples - Ambrosia, Red Delicious, Fuji or Spartans $2.96/5 lbs That's $.59/lb
Grapefruit $2.86/5lbs ($.57/lb)
frozen spinach $1.00
Black Diamond cheese slices $5.97kg pkg

Save-on(15% on Tuesday)
Schnieders sausage rings BOGO (sorry, they do not list their price)
navel oranges $.59/lb $.50/lb on Tuesday
Asparagus $1.99/lb $1.69/lb on Tuesday
Celery $.79/lb $.67/lb on Tuesday Since celery generally is sold by the bunch, you would need to weigh it and calculate how much it would cost. If it's less than $1.00 then it's a good price.
tomatoes $.99/lb $.84/lb on Tuesday
Red grapes $1.69/lb $1.44/lb on Tuesday This is the best price for this week
fresh chicken legs $1.59/lb $1.35/lb on Tuesday. It's the warehouse pack, but sine they are fresh, not frozen, you can repackage when you get home to smaller quantities
Western family frozen fruit $5.00/600g That's not a deal, but on Tuesday $4.25 which is not too bad. Plus, you get a box of frozen waffles or French toast when you buy 2 bags of fruit.

  1. WalMart takes competitor coupons as far as I've been told. I don't know the details.
    I'm planning to shop at Safeway on Tuesday. If anyone wants just a couple of things, please let me know and I'll be happy to get them for you.

  2. Liesel for some reason I can not make an entry on this site. I wanted to do a coupon write up but since I am teaching it for Relief Society night I will post all the info the day after that. (Feb.17) Maybe you can tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks, Alisha

  4. I'm so glad you included Safeway, even though I barely shop there anymore! You've switched me.
