I haven't seen the ads yet.   I did glance at QFC s ads and found good prices for eggs, sugar, and some other dairy.  .    Back when I get the ads.    Safeways just 4 you ( at least mine) has 5 dollars off thirty.   Not a huge percentage off.   I haven't seen the ad, so I don't know what the prices are - the ones on just 4 you are quite comical.   Like I am supposed to believe that twice the RBP is a good deal they are giving me.  Maybe the prices are based in the total money spent there.    That would explain it, because I haven't seen many good prices since Haggen took over and it was sold back to Albertsons.

Fred Meyers and Winco seem to be the best prices lately.   My rotation last week was cheese.  

QFC

Dollar sale

Cheese
Sugar
Cheese
Milk
Eggs - 18.  
MUST BUY 3 - well duh!    


Squash
Barilla -$$

Yoplait 10/5 - $$
Berries 2/4
Cream cheese 2/5

That's the gist of the special prices.  

I'm  going from the ad on line.  It's hard to read in a reader.    I,mstockimg cheese when it's cheap.   I suspect it won't be because if the buyout.    The way it is in sake, I'm suspecting the bags will get you smaller and the price will get larger.    Just a guess, time will tell.   Stocking will soften the blow.  Grated cheese freezes well.  

I got sausage for a dollar last week, it is three dollars this week.   That's what sticking a little will do for  you.  On a tight budget, two dollars is a lot and  they all add up.    I won't drove across town for 8 cents.... But picking the best store to shop at based on prices that week is a key factor in eating well
for less.  

Last night we had pizza.   I made the crust early in the day and put  it in the refrigerator.    It's about five minutes non-passive time and another ten in a oiled, covered bowl on the counter.   Then put it in a zip lock and refrigerate.    Take it out an hour or so before dinner and roll and fill.   A vegan pizza costs ten dollars and u bake.    A pizza crust costs about .40.  Flour, salt, yeast, water and oil.   You can buy yeast in the bulk section at Winco.  I buy it at at Costco and store in an airtight container.  

My daughter added onions, fire roasted tomatoes ( .50). and  black olives (.25) and sauce (.10) total 1.25.   She has tomato sauce, onions, and black olives left for a pasta dish tonight.   A 8.75 savings.  
I can make four dinners or more with ten dollars - not one pizza with no cheese and no meat.
