Grocery deal rundown - July 4th prep ed.

Bring on the 4th of July Deals!!

Let us not forget that it is double ad Wednesday at SF Market, meaning you can take advantage of last week's specials - take a look a both ads here and see what you think.. they always have some killer produce deals, and if you are looking to serve beef baby back ribs for your 4th of July BBQ, they have them for $0.99 lb.

Now - Albertsons... at the bottom of the first page of the circular there are coupons that could prove very handy for Independence Day grilling, or for freezing for later summer celebrations: BOGO free on Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage, Buy 1 Get 2 free on Nathan's Famous Premium Franks, and Buy 1 get 3 free on Ball Park Meat or Turkey Franks!! On the next page there is a coupon for Buy 1 get 2 free family packs of Petite Sirloin Steaks.
Hamburger and Hot dog buns are $0.88 a package at Albertsons, and prices should be around that anywhere you go this week - I wouldn't pay more right now, for sure!

Also, if you dig frozen pizza, Albersons has Tombstone varieties, 4 for $10.00 - and you will get a coupon good for $3.00 off your next shopping bill as well!

Safeway - Safeway is its usual big fat dud self, offering coupons with spending minimums and minimums on number of items you must by. Sucks IMO, but whatever.. If you want to stock up on soda, you can mix and match Coke, Pepsi, and 7-up brands, buy 5 and they are $1.99 for each 12 pack ($20.00 minimum grocery purchase, of course). Also, the offer is good only July 1-4. A smarter way to go might be to load up on 2 liter Coke products, buy 3, get 3 free - no rules to follow on that one!

Hot dog and Hamburger Buns are just $0.79 a package, so they have that going for them, I guess.

And Bananas are $0.50 lb, which is a price I see with some regularity at various stores, but it is a good one.
______________

King Soopers- has Bar-S Jumbo Meat or Turkey franks for $0.55 a pack (limit 4), King Soopers Brand brats, Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage, and Ball Park Franks are all BOGO free.
KS comes in as the big fat loser for Hamburger and Hot dog prices, listing them on sale for $1.00 each (come on Kings, I expect better of you!) They are also running a "buy 10 get $3.00 off promotion with several products throughout the store, and I know I should probably jump on that band wagon, but I just hate being told how much to spend or how much of something I have to buy. (boo hoo, eh?)

Also, this is a week to skip buying chicken (this is why we stock up when the price is good.. as b/s breasts aren't on sale anywhere, so break into your reserves!)

So that's it - fire up your grills, break out the potato chips (Lays for $1.88 at Safeway now through July 4th) and get ready to enjoy family and friends as we celebrate Independence Day!
