Why I Never Shop at Western Beef Anymore

Western Beef used to be far away (1.3 miles) but cheap. Now it is only 1.3 miles away.

I was perusing the weekly circular because it's Labor Day and maybe it would have some deals. I found this abomination:

Contrast that with what I saw earlier today when reading the Bravo circular. (Bravo is close and cheap.)

That's $7 more dollars for the same amount of cheese!

More produce shopping

I went shopping with Lewis. We went to Kings Market and Green Corner.

I got romaine lettuce for $0.50 and the Kumato tomatoes for $1 at Kings Market. At Green Corner, tomatoes and peaches were $0.79/lb, plums were $0.99/lb, and serrano peppers were $1.99.

Summer Produce

It's so cheap I don't know what to do with it. I just keep buying it.

The end of the selling period

I was just at Bravo to buy some heavy cream to make an icebox cake. I don't know why they always have the cheapest heavy cream, but they do. While I was there, employees started going around taking down all the sale tags for the deals that end 8/9. That really stressed me out! Even someone who writes a grocery blog and looked at the circular 10 times this week doesn't have all the deals memorized. I got as little as possible to meet the credit card minimum ($7... another thing that stresses me out) and left.

Besides the heavy cream (1 pint for $2.50), I got Krasdale mayo ($1.99 for 30 oz), frozen corn ($1.25), and Sprite Zero ($1.34).

Cheap Chicken!

I mentioned in a phone interview for a job I'd be great at that I update this blog because no one wants to hear about all the grocery things that excite me. Tonight I was tempted to text someone who was having a hard time about this chicken on sale this week at Associated that is $0.39/lb. But that is insensitive. So here I am!

That is one of the all-time lowest prices I've seen though. I didn't even get through the rest of the circular. There seem to be a lot of buy one get one free deals. I never see those. I wonder if they mean it's half price or if I have to actually buy 2.
