Grocery Deals of the Week – Albertson’s

It’s stockpile time at Alberton’s. You do have a stockpile, don’t you? This is a good time to start if you don’t. They’re having an incremental sale – the more you buy, the better you save. Here are the best deals I found there: Skippy, buy 8 and get an extra $2 off, making them $1 apiece. There are .40 off coupons floating around out there (I paid a nickel apiece clipping fee) that make them even cheaper. Lipton/Knorr Sides. Paul really likes the Alfredo ones.

My first stop was Safeway. I knew from their ad that they had grapes on sale at a buck a pound. That’s a very good price here in the Northwest. I also up some boneless skinless … Continue reading →

The Great American Gas Out Fizzles Out

Did you take part in yesterday’s Great American Gas Out? It was a grass roots movement to have all motorists boycott gas stations for one day with the hopes it would somehow have an impact on gas prices. One email I received promoting the boycott had a goal of taking $2.3 billion in oil company profits. Needless to say, gas prices in my area are just as high today ($3.30 a gallon) as they were yesterday. So to the man who I ran into yesterday in the check out line at Wal-Mart who insisted that one-day boycott had exactly zero … Continue reading →
