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.

Children's Choir
Thank you to Pam Liptak for forwarding this information to me.
Lisa Ward is forming a children's choir and has placed information to the elementary schools. However, I did not hear it this way. Perhaps you have. In any event, if you do not know Lisa Ward, she is a very accomplished choir director, formerly directing the choirs at LTCHS. She is now directing choirs privately, including ihana and soliloquy, renown adult/young adult choirs. When I heard that she is forming a children's choir, I was very excited. Her skills are well known in the choir community and we would be very fortunate to have her molding our young childrens' voices. Here is the link to the website. One catch - the information meeting it TONIGHT!!
The choir is set to start in the new year.

Not valid during the Christmas break or Family Day weeked. But you can either buy a weekend or weekday pass. Your choice. It's time sensitive - there are only 3 days left to purchase the coupon.

Slim Pickins'
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,
