grocery matchups 10/1/2014

Many websites do grocery store match-ups, which is a great way to save money (Chief Family Officer and Southern Cali Saver are my two favorites) , but I tweak it just a bit. I only highlight the good deals that are healthy, all-natural. Nothing in a box or can (unless it's exceptional!). By buying what is in season and on sale to build your meals, you can save a lot of money each week! As always, YMMV (Your Milage May Vary) as these are all set to Southern California grocery stores ads. 


I haven't done one of these in a LONG time! My apologies-life has been crazy. I finally feel like it is all leveling out so I will try to get this up every week again!

FRESH N EASY

• I finally went back to Fresh n Easy last week and got some good clearance. They don't really have sale ads anymore (it just features the regular prices of products) but I did have a great coupon for 3 dollars off almonds so I got a pound of almonds for 3.99!
  

I plan on going to Sprouts on Thursday or Sunday (depends on how I feel) to get all the groceries I need for the week. I will also stop by Von's for some cheap bananas and other fruit.  I am going to try and get through some of the freezer food I have and also eat some baked potatoes and rice (carbloading!!!). All I need to get in a bit of fruit and veggies for the week. 


What are your shopping plans for the week?
