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!

Garden Update

Image
We had an awesome week - weather wise - until the weekend then we got slammed by wind.  Thankfully we didn't sustain any major damage (although our patio cover tried to fly across the yard and we had to anchor it down better).  The garden is a bit wind blown and everything is leaning but we harvested some yummy food this week: Two Strawberries @ .5 Ounces Kale @ 12.25 Ounces 3 Artichoke @ 1 Pound 4.375 Ounces A Grand total of 2.07 Pounds The girls ate the strawberries and LOVED them - Little C keeps checking for more every time she goes outside and Big C tells her they are not ready then secretly asks if she can have the next ripe one!  For the kale I am going to try steaming it down like spinach and freezing it?!?  And I cannot wait to steam the artichoke and eat them dipped in mayonnaise - yummy! Happy Gardening All, Ash of All Trades

Sausage Potatoe Packets

Image
Here is our yummy version of a sausage potato packet...I am sure plenty of people make many varities of these and I hear they are great when camping but I like to make them at home! Use one Hillshire Farms sausage link. Cut it up into bite size pieces. Get some fresh or frozen bell peppers and onions. A few potatoes.  (4 for the four of us). Wash them. Poke holes in them. Cook for 2-3 minutes (not all the way) just enough for the cooking process to have started.  This way you don't have to wait 40 minutes for the potatoes to cook on the bbq. Add the sausage to a strip of foil. For a packet with some heat - chop a jalapeno or other chili. Add the potatoes, bell peppers, onion, (chilies) and olive oil. You can peal the potatoes or leave them whole - they get a bit crispier if you leave the skin on! Spread some garlic salt over the top. Mix with your hands to coat a bit. Cover with another piece of foil that is ni...

Big Girl Room Unveiled!

Image
So Little C decided that she would like a big girl bed.  And that she didn't want diapers. So for the last two weeks we have been redoing her room and potty training!  Now while neither one if completely done they are fully improved and fully functioning.  Her theme as shown above is owls and nature! Now this was a thrifty room makeover (and sorry but I don't have any nursery pictures on this computer!) but still expensive considering we went from crib & changing table to bed, dresser, and armoire.  We did luck out and actually gave Big C's furniture to Little C and purchased Big C a new bed, dresser, and desk from the neighbor (half of for only 9 month old furniture) LOVE IT!  Big C's room is still in progress so no pictures yet but back to Little C's room! Here we used some garland at Michael's (Buy One Get One Free) to make a unique "moulding" of sorts.  $50 and one extra garland later voila! Add in a decorative armoire with Porcelain dolls...
