Better late than never is my motto of the season, and my middle kid can testify to that as I completely forgot about him this week and left him stranded downtown.  I got him eventually, and that’s the important part.

There’s a varying range of sales this week. Whole fryers and country style pork ribs might be worth a trip to Fiesta if it’s not your usual haunt.  Randalls has Bluebell at it’s cheapest, if they’re not on your never-again list. Organic apples are under a buck a pound at Sprouts, which is a stock-up item if you’re an organic shopper.

Also: Central Market has a very pretty looking Bundt cake for $7.99. Their bakery makes some lovely tasty things, most beyond my own wallet, but this is a pretty that’s within reach if you’re wanting a treat this weekend.

Happy shopping, Cheepsters!  And thanks for the encouragement to keep on keeping on.

An unusual interruption here: Randalls is having a Buy One Get One Free sale this week that is fairly extensive.  I’m going to list products that I think are a good buy in this situation, based on my mental recollection of the prices.  Please look at the price on the shelf and make a call for yourself–it is Randalls, after all. I don’t have time to check them all out, so I’m making my best calls. I think the items listed below bring their prices down to match or beat their ordinary sale prices.
