Sales at Grocery Stores this week

What should we expect to see on sale this week? There are some things you should be on the look out for...

Brands to watch this week:
*Kraft: watch for sales on cheese, Mac & Cheese, Capri Sun, and salad dressing. Because it's "Frozen Foods Month", you'll also expect to see some DiGiornio pizzas on sale this week (who knew there was a frozen food month?). You'll probably also see sales on Jell-o pudding, Oreos, and other Kraft snack-type products.

*Campbells: Winter's not over yet, so watch for sales on soup as March tends to be a good month to move soup inventory off store shelves. It's still cold enough to want to have a hot bowl of soup for dinner.

Falling prices this week:
Butter: I have been seeing butter as low as $0.99 per pound. If you find them at this price, consider stockpiling (butter freezes very well). The reason for the sale is a combination of 1). anticipating Easter baking and 2). falling commodity prices in dairy.

Ice Cream: A double whammy: frozen food item and falling dairy commodity, watch for premium brands to be under $2.50

Beef/Corned beef: The normal price is $3.59 to $3.99 per pound. I have found them for as low as $1.48 per pound over the past week. This is the week to stock up.

Grapes: This family favorite will be relatively inexpensive in most areas this week; watch for prices as low as $0.99 per pound.

Bottled Juices: from Tropicana to Ocean Spray you can see juice as low as $1.00 for a 64oz container. Combining with coupons could mean some free juice (see my previous blog for double coupons at Kmart!)
