Why has there been a dearth of posts, my friends?
Well, deals are not as abundant as they used to be.
Here's a few generic ones:
Safeway has one-day sales on Fridays quite often. Sign up for their e-mail to get advanced notice if you don't get the flyers.
No Frills still has awesome deals. (Cheese is less than $1.00 for 100g this week, I think $6 for 800g block?) check out their flyer on-line and it's worth the drive to Sylvan, Innisfail or Lacombe. As well, I find there are often deals that are not in the flyer.
Superstore: spend $250, get $25 gift card. You can combine two receipts from the same day. I asked the lady in front of me for her receipt, gave her $10 and got the $25 gift card. That's right, I'm $15 ahead now.
Favorite Stores: I get emails from Old Navy, Body Shop and few others. They have really good sales sometimes, so as long as you can weed through the junk you get, you can save some decent coin (I saved about $50 at Body Shop today)
BULK BARN - wahoo. My favorite store. Just opened next to Chapters in Red Deer. Know your prices because it's not always a great deal but great variety to be had.
That's it for now.
Life get's busy and usually by the time I get around to thinking about posting it's already the last day of the sale. Sorry.

I phone charger
Does anyone have a spare I-phone 3, 4 or 4s charger they don't need? We lost one and before we buy another thought we'd see if there's an extra out there?
Thanks,

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.

Grocery Deal Drought
If you're wondering whether JoAnn and I are still alive and reading flyers, worry no more. We are alive and well but there have not been too many earth-shattering deals in the past few months, maybe entire year? We'll post if we see anything super amazing but otherwise, keep checking the flyers for deals on your usual purchases.
However, I would recommend signing up for the Safeway e-mails. They have been having one-day sales on Fridays with some pretty good deals. These deals are in the flyer as well but it's nice to get the heads up e-mail as well.

Free Stuff
Cleaning house and the following are FREE, Free, Free!
I can bring to the Relief Society meeting on Thursday.
1. George Foreman Grill, good used condition
2. Stuffed Carrot (about 2ft tall)
3. Mirrored Baby Boy picture frame, fits 4x6 photo

5. Books (Being the Mom, How to feel great about being a mother, Agent Bishop). DVD: The Mouths of Babes (cute video of little kids being asked gospel questions and their unusual responses)
6. Picture frames, fit 4x6 photo, outer measurement approx. 12x12. Take these before I chicken out.

Grocery Deals This Week
On Friday I had one of those "Start THE CAR!!!" moments (hopefully you all recall the IKEA commercial from a few years ago.
I found Lean Ground Beef at Superstore for $3.26/kg. That works out to $1.49/lb. I don't know if it's still on but if so, stock up because that is a fantastic price.
I like to fry up the beef with onions and freeze in 1-2 cup portions so it's quick and ready for spaghetti sauce, chili, whatever. (See how I snuck in a frugal living tip in the grocery section, so tricky)
On to the deals.
Sobey's has some good deals but I'm leaving that to JoAnn because she reads that flyer better than me.
SuperStore
boneless, skinless chicken breasts, frozen, $2.98/lb (in 4kg boxes, works out to $26.28/box)
blueberries $3.96/2lb
Michelina's frozen meals $1
mixed sweet peppers $3.88/2 lb bag
Hunt's snack pack puddings $1
NN dill pickles 2/$3 (usually $2 each)
Select Kellogg's cereals $4.98 (watch because I saw in other flyers boxes with the $5 gas card so you could be getting the cereal for free basically)
school supplies - almost all on sale, especially Crayola and paper and duotangs, etc
WalMart
Delissio pizza $4.97
Christie cookies (oreo's, fudge-o's etc) $1.88 (my benchmark is under $2)
avocados $0.77 each (I think I paid $1.28 at SS)
Peanut butter is still expensive, compared to last year. Your best price is $8.99/2kg which i've seen most places, but if you want a smaller size, the 1kg is $5.47 at WM is okay)
