I’m working on ways to get the word out about Cheepie, so look forward to some giveaways and changes/updates to the blog!

Here’s the new Facebook banner and (!) business cards. I know, so retro to hand someone a piece of paper with information on it an expect them to glue it into their Rolodex.  But I see people in the store all the time, staring at an item and I feel like I can hear their thoughts, ” Should I buy this? Or is this too much?”  I want to help these grocery aisle wanderers.

Or, I just want to be the crazy lady in the grocery store chatting up strangers and get on a first name basis with store managers that want to review with me what ‘No Soliciting’ means.

This might motivate me to give Instacart a try!

Anyone already given it a shot? Let me know what you think.  

It’s late, so I will forego the witty banter and just get right to the sales.  Lots of great deals this week!

They must have heard about the other meat sales this week, because Whole Foods is having a heck of a sale on roti chickens.

That should make Friday night a pretty simple meal, if you’re a WF kind of shopper!

Grapes are less than a buck a pound everywhere, but Sprouts wins the race with 69c/lb green grapes. Given the forecast, if you want to try making raisins, this is your week!

It’s also Hatchapalooza time, with people jamming Hatch chili peppers into everything and anything.  Central Market’s flyer this week has ‘Hatch yellow onions’ listed as a special, with those words next to a photo of an ordinary yellow onion.  People just slap the word hatch in front of anything over at CM, I think. They’ve also got a Hatch chili cheesecake, I like chili peppers of all sorts, but this time of year CM cracks me up–click the link at the bottom to check it out yourself.

In other produce news, avocados are 25c and limes are 12/$1 at Fiesta, so that’s a good thing. Randalls has bone-in chicken breast and leg portions for 99c/lb and sourdough rounds for 99c, which you can put together and have most of a meal ready to go.
