JoAnn's Grocery Picks for the Week

As Liesel mentioned, nothing earth shaking this week, but a few treasures here and there.

Superstore:This week is the gas coupon, so if you have groceries to purchase regardless of deals or nor deals, may as well go here.  You will need to spend a minimum $100 to qualify and the discount ranges from $.10-$.35 depending on how much you spend and whether or not you have a PC mastercard.  the flyer has all the details and the coupon.  If you don't have a flyer, they are always found at the front doors.
Kraft peanut butter $7.98/2kg  It's hard to believe that I am even considering this a good deal.  I've never paid more than $5.98, but in the past year I know it has been as high as $13.00, so I guess it's all relative.  This is why I have food storage and believe in stocking up when prices are decent.  I have been able to weather the peanut crop failure last year and will be okay for a while still.  It has happened with flour, sugar, orange juice, beef, chicken and pork, just to name a few.  Very grateful my mother taught me preparedness and self-reliance.
Produce -  romaine $.76
                  grapes tomatoes 2/$3.00
                  20 lbs red potatoes $4.98
                  orchard run apples $.76/lb or better.  Now is the season to take advantage of fresh apples until the apple order comes in.  Each week the Superstore and NoFrills will feature a different variety of apple and the price is $.76 or better.  But the apples from the Church orchard are a better price - only risk is they are sight unseen.  Otherwise, great deal.

I really cannot see anything else worthy of my time to record for you.  However, I do not get the Walmart flyer (yes I know, it's a real downer) so perhaps you may be able post a comment if you see anything.  I understand toilet paper is featured again this week.

  1. Here's my two cents:
    Sobey's: If JoAnn doesn't comment on anything, it's not worth going.
    Superstore:
    Utility Turkey (aka missing a wing, etc): $0.95/lb
    Imperial margerine (not the healthiest, but...) $2.97/ 1.36kg, tubs or 12x1/4lb bricks. Reg $6.47
    Tortillas 2/$6 ($3.87 each reg)
    NN cheese $7.98/800g
    Crest toothpaste (100ml) or OralB toothbrush $1 each

    WalMart:
    Utility Turkey $0.97/lb
    English cucumber $0.77 each
    Dairyland chocolate milk 1L OR Aylmer's canned tomatoes 540-796mL OR Michelina's frozen meals $1 each
    Purex 30 double rolls $12.97 each (not sure if this is the deal or not)
    Bartlett or Anjou pears $0.97/lb
    sour cream 250mL $1
    Christie crax or cookies $1.88

    Happy Shopping.

  2. No the toilet paper is Charmin 16 triple rolls for $8.97 That's less than $.37/double roll. One caveat - I haven't looked at the package to see if it's truly a triple roll or not. Sometimes they say double or triple roll when in fact it just has more, but not that much more. So I'll let you do the comparison.
