Grocery Picks - Jan 11-17

Here are a few of my grocery picks for this week:
Superstore:
spend $175, get free lasagna ($12.99 value). These taste pretty good.
Lean ground beef $2.48/lb
broccoli $0.96/bunch
No Name canned fruit (796ml) 2/$4
No Name shredded cheese (1kg) $10.98 
this price doesn't meet my 'under $1/100g price' but, it's already grated. Throw it in the freezer and you're good to go for nachos, tuna melts, whatever and you don't have an extra dish to wash. Worth the extra $1 for me.
Danone creamy or sihouette 16x100g yogurt $4.97 (limit 2, over limit $6.97)
Duncan Hines cake mix 4/$4.88
VEGA ONE all-in-one nutritional shake $54.98, reg $69.99
I can't stomach these regularly but if you like shakes, these are completely plant-based and help get more beans and lentils in your diet. Created by an iron-man triathlete. Cool.
No Name stuffed chicken breasts (box of 2) 2 boxes/$5

Independent Grocer (Clearview)
I like comparing prices between superstore and independent flyers. Haven't done a complete shop yet to see which is a better deal overall. I'd love feedback if anyone has compared yet.
Boneless blade roast OR pork tenderloin $3/lb (JoAnn, can you confirm if this is a good deal?)
White mushrooms or peppers $2/lb
Romaine, red leaf or green leaf lettuce $1/head
French's mustard 455ml or Kraft BBQ sauce 225ml $1
Hmm, roast or pork + BBQ sauce = pulled beef/pork MMMMMM
No Name canned fruit 398/540ml 4/$5 (good if you want smaller cans)
pineapple $4
sidekicks $0.99
croissants 6 count $1
quaker granola bars 3/$5 (my benchmark price is $2/box)
No Name chicken or beef pot pies $1 each (once in a blue moon food, check out the fat content)

WalMart
Charmin 30 giant rolls TP (=75 single rolls) $14.97
cracker barrel cheese 700g $7.94 (still not at the $1/100g price but best I saw)
broccoli or celery $1
Old Spice or Secret deodorant $1.97 (I think regular price is usually around $3-4)

I don't even bother checking Save-On, Sobey's or Co-Op, so if there's anything fantastic from there, leave a comment.

JoAnn's Grocery Picks

There are a few items at each of the stores this week, but I'm going to highlight the store I am visiting this week.  As it is 15% at Safeway, Sobeys and Save-on, I will most likely go to Sobeys purely out of habit, but I have chosen Save-on and here's why.

Chicken legs, back attached, fresh $1.00/lb  That's only $.85/lb (on Tuesday that is) for fresh.  That means you don't have to try to cook the entire 5kg box because you can't possibly pry them apart.  Boil or pressure cook, debone and use for your favorite chicken casserole or soup or simply make the most delicious sandwiches for far cheaper and healthier than luncheon meat!!
Hunt's thick and rich pasta sauce $1.00  or $.85 on Tuesday
WF juice boxes $1.00/5  It is pure juice not punches or cocktail. $.85/5 on tuesday
Jamieson Vit C $4.99/120's  500 mg.  I realize that it's not organic, but when it comes to Vitamin C, I'm not that picky.  $4.25 on Tuesday
navel oranges $5.99/10lbs  $5.09/box on Tuesday.  A hair over $.50/lb  Tis the season for navel oranges.


May I take a moment to also remind everyone we will be starting our monthly potlucks this Sunday.  Immediately following our meetings at 4:00 pm.
