JoAnn's Grocery Pick for the week

As Liesel said, not much worth mentioning. But I'll list what Sobey's has that may be worth it for Discount Tuesday. And here comes the sales pitch - the Sobey's gift cards are now on sale. (I'm talking Travis' fundraiser of Sobey's Gift Cards) This is great for you since you are getting full value for your dollar. You pay $25 and receive a gift card for $25. It's valid anytime and at any Sobey's and never expires. Travis would be very happy for your orders. As I mentioned in an earlier post to the blog, he is going to Greece with the Design Studies class and this is one of their fundraisers. Unfortunately, they won't be ready for pick up by this Tuesday. I tried to suggest that, but the committee wasn't sure we should sell them so soon. Sorry.

Sobeys I'm focusing on Tuesday prices. So my comments relate to Tuesdays and not to the rest of the week.

Turkey $.99/lb $.84/lb Yes, Liesel this is a good price, especially on Tuesday. I make it a rule to never pay more than $.99/lb for turkey, but I also make it a rule to try to get it for free at Superstore.

Compliments ham $1.99/lb or $4.39/kg $1.69/lb or $3.73/kg I'm not sure if this is an old fashioned with the bone in, or the boneless style. But if you look at the price/kg, you will realize that if you were buying this in the deli, it would be selling for $.37/100. when was the last time you bought luncheon meat, especially ham for that price!!

Black Diamond cheese $4.99/500g $4.24/500g If you missed out on the awesome price the last 2 weeks at Walmart on Armstrong cheese, you could pick up some of this. It would be equal to $7.63 for the 908g blocks.

sour cream 500 ml tub $1.99 $1.69 I usually buy the 1L tub at Superstore for around $3.25 This would be $3.38 and you can have a smaller container open at a time, extending the fridge life.

broccoli $.99 $.84

yams $.49/lb $.41 Makes spectacular pumpkin pie!!

pears $.99/lb $.84/lb

red potatoes $4.99 $4.24 Their potatoes are good quality. You could get a couple of bags at this price and they'd keep for at least a month.

baby carrots, 2lb bag $1.99 $1.69

Tray buns $3.49/24 $2.97/24 That's $1.50/doz and their bakery makes good stuff. Just usually rather expensive

General Mills jumbo size cereal $4.99 $4.24

Life cereal $3.49 $2.96

Then, while you are there collecting your 15% off, pick up eggs, milk and butter at Walmart's lower price + 15%. Works for me.

Have a good week and happy shopping.
