Best Grocery Deals of The Week

Hello All!  I have to say I am loving all of the new visitors I have had - if you want updates every time I update you can sign up to follow my blog and they will be emailed to you or your favorite e-reader!

The newest type of post I will be hosting is a weekly look at the best deals in SoCal grocery stores.  My post will not focus on every product but rather the prices I see that I would be willing to pay and the ones that are stock pile prices.  They will not have coupon match ups with dates but I will let  you know if I think there is a coupon available.  I will cover Albertsons, Stater Brothers, Ralphs & occasionally Cardenas plus any other rock bottom prices I might find!

So without further ado:

Albertsons:
88 cents/lb Chicken Drumsticks, Thighs or Legs (with skin) this a price I would buy one to have.
99 cents/dozen eggs - This is an awesome price even cheaper than Costco - definite buy.
1.50/6oz blueberries - this is an okay price but probably the best around for awhile.
That was pretty much it - slim pickings this week!

Stater Brothers:
$2.99/3lbs of Cuties Mandarin Oranges paired with a coupon this is really good for this time of year.
.99/lb for green seedless grapes - definitely would buy this as one of our weekly fruits.
$1.49/box Eggo Waffles - again with a coupon would buy but not stockpile they go as low as .99.
.99/10oz Cacique Chorizo - great stock up price unless you have a Smart & Final or Winco by you.
.99/lb of Farmer John hot dogs - again great price but sadly my kids won't eat them.
.59/can of Cambells Soup - good price but again wouldn't stockpile maybe buy 2-3
3 for .99 Lemons - Awesome price - think of things you like lemons for and buy them!
.99/lb for Organic Navel Oranges this is a good price if you buy organic.

Ralphs (my favorite)!
$1 for Hass Avocados - would buy a couple for the week.
$1 for 1lb Roma Tomatoes - good if you need them but they aren't the best flavor right now.
$1 for 1lb baby carrots - awesome price especially if you have a Ralphs coupon to take .60 off.
$1 for a Mango - again would buy 1 or 2.
Must buy 10 of the following to get the price listed:
1.99 for General Mills cereal - great buy and with coupons I will stock up!
1.69 for Cheetos or Fritos - good buy for a treat and I think there are coupons out on these.
2.69 for Breyers Ice Cream - not a bad price - better if  you have a coupon.
.99 for Cambells Chunky Soup - great price with coupons and would stock up.
.89 for Kraft BBQ sauce - good price and would buy a few (especially with coupons)
.98 for Colgate toothpaste - Awesome stock up price especially with $1 off coupons then they are free!
.99 for Navel Oranges - great price and they are in season.

As for Cardenas I will post any super deals when I see them but for things like citrus, herbs, spices, or mexican vegetables that is the place to go.  We also stock up on their boneless skinless chicken leg meat when it goes on sale for .89 / pound - yes a killer deal - I bought 30 pounds last time.

Hope this helps ya'll decipher which prices are good and which ones are just okay.  Sale prices are tricky - just because it's on sale doesn't mean you need to buy it.  This should help you figure out the rock bottom prices on many items!

Tomorrow I will post some of my favorite features about Ralphs and later in the week I will explain where I get my coupons and how I use them to my advantage!

For now,
Ash of All Trades!

Theme Thursday: Bugs & Insects

Image
This week (and next) we are working on bugs and insects.  Lots of Eric Carle inspiration here folks and the girls are loving it!  The books we read over and over and over are: For activities we started with: Playing with our caterpillar felts. The girls reenacted the Eric Carle Story using their kitchen food. Big C also had to order the pieces by "age" telling the story of transformation. And they just played with them making them talk and such. Then we did fingerprint ants.  These are Big C's she even drew the antennae and legs! (They are supposed to be in tunnels). Then we made a glue web.  Squeeze white glue in the shape of a web. Let dry and voila! Little C's fingerprint ant.  She did not like paint on her fingers. Played with our fly, spider, and web. Talked about how spiders trap flies and drink their blood. Again they made her talk and named her and made her friendly.  Made caterpillars out of playdoh.  Big C also made an egg on a leaf and a cocoon. Then

Staycation!

Image
 This year the Hubs and I are traveling to Pennsylvania for his graduation from Penn State's MBA program and after much deliberation we have decided to leave the little ones behind.  With that being said we still wanted to spend some quality family time together and thus decided to have a 4 day "staycation"!  Our 4 days started out with a trip to Newport Beach - this being Little C's first time at the beach since before she was walking it was quite the new adventure!  Both girls loved the sand and eventually the water but most of all the people!  We met some lovely people from Canada and Colorado and had a ton of fun all day! Big C buried in sand! Daddy's Myan Ruins castle! Little C loved the sand - and had it everywhere! Sand angels! Didn't wait two seconds before digging in! Next we visited the La Habra Children's museum . We also went art supply shopping at Target and tried to get daddy a suit and shoes at the Brea Mall. OCTA Bus at the La H
