Grocery Picks

It's the first Tuesday of the Month this week, so discount days at Safeway, Sobey's and Save-On. I think Co-Op is the first Monday so that won't be until the following week.
JoAnn has almost promised that she will do Sobey's, so here are my picks for the other stores:

Safeway:
Spend minimum of $35, get 15% on Tuesday.
Chicken breasts, frozen, 4kg box $26.36 ($2.99/lb)
Kraft Dinner BOGO, not sure of regular price but probably works out okay
Buy 3 Carlton cards, save $5 (coupon at store). We've all got a few Mom's who need cards.
Corn on the Cob 10 for $5 (who knows where it was grown but it's okay for this time of year)

WalMart:
Tomatoes $0.77/lb
Cucumber $0.77 each
Dairyland Chocolate milk 1L $1
Danone Silhouettes or Creamy yogurt 16x100g, $4.47
Kraft peanut butter 500g $2
Now, that doesn't look like a great deal, but, peanut butter prices have gone up recently and this is the best price I've seen in the past while. So, to put things in perspective, you could get 2kg (4x500g) for $8 at WalMart, or it's $10.47 for 2kg at Superstore.

Superstore:
Spend $250, get $25 gift card
NN cheese, 800g $7.98
Strawberries 2lb, $2.86
Ziggy's Internationale black forest ham (deli meat) $0.98/100g (pre-packaged)
Kellogg's Rice Krispies 340-525g $3.98, reg $4.99
Kellogg's Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes, Corn Pops, Mini Wheats $4.97, reg $4.96
Reactine extra strength 48-58s $19.97, reg $29.99 (google for a coupon too, there might be something out there)

This is not exhaustive by any means, but should help.

Nutrition Tip: Thanks to Dr. Reese on Saturday night for reminding us of this simple advice:
Eat Food (not processed, but real, as close to the farm as possible)
Not Too Much
Mostly Plants
