Pickin' Chicken
I have been TERRIBLE about talking local grocery deals lately - but I was recently talking with a friend about what I think is a good price for b/s chicken breasts.
I will tell you, I NEVER pay over 1.88 a pound for b/s chicken breasts, and really I like to keep it lower than that if I can. When I see a good price, I stock up on as much as my budget will allow for.
This week at Safeway b/s chicken breasts are 1.79 lb.

1/8 - It's no secret that I LOVE the National Western Stock Show - it is my favorite event every year, and that love affair started when I was just a little buckeroo going to the Stock Show with my family. If you have a feeling your cowpoke will feel the same way, then stop by any Guaranty Bank location and pick up vouchers good for free children's grounds admission anytime between January 8-14. Check out the Stock Show website for more information about this offer, and all the family fun going on at the Stock Show!

Y'all get yer boots on!
I LOVE the stock show! It's the farm heritage in my family sneaking out in me, I guess - because it is one of my favorite things about Denver.
And one of the coolest Stock Show traditions is the annual parade - there is nothing more Colorado to me than a bunch of livestock heading through the middle of downtown!
This year's parade kicks off tomorrow at noon at Union Station and heads up 17th street towards the financial district - don't miss it!
