What's on Sale in June?

 I have barely been in New York since early April and since I knew I would be away, I wasn't even shopping much then. Now I am back for the foreseeable future and need groceries. So far I have been mostly eating tomatoes from C-Town that were $1.49/lb last week.

I'm also back to iced coffee/cold brew that I buy at stores. Last night I used my $3 off in-app coupon at CVS to get Stok for $4. I should learn how to make it myself. I lack the equipment.

Bravo: Chicken quarters for 99¢/lb. Peaches are $1.49/lb. Cilantro is 79¢ and Vidalia onions are $1/lb.

C-Town: Same peaches, but chicken costs more here. Bottom round roast is $5.49/lb. I wonder if I could use that for birria. Maseca is $4. Bizzy cold brew is $4 for 48 oz. I haven't heard of that brand. C-Town seems to have changed its frozen foods store brand from Krasdale to Food Club and all the prices are a lot higher. Cilantro is 79¢ here too.

Food Bazaar: Peaches are only $1/lb here. A sleeve of garlic is 3/$5.

Foodtown: Tortilla chips are $3. Sleeved garlic is $3 here, so maybe I will go to Food Bazaar. Trader Joe's was out of garlic yesterday. Vidalia onions are $1.50/lb here. There's not much of a reason to go to Foodtown this week.

Green Corner: Tomatillos are $1/lb and serranos are $1.29/lb this weekend only. I need to go get some. Sleeves of garlic are 3/$5 here too. Ginger is $1.69/lb and Cotija is $6/lb.

What's on sale? - it's cold edition

 I have barely been in my apartment for 3 weeks in a row for a long time, so my grocery shopping has been crimped. But now I'm back. So what's on sale? I need kosher salt specifically. And I got a new sourdough starter for my birthday so I need to start buying flour again.

Bravo: I've mostly ended my feud with them. Other stores overcharged since then. Quartered chicken legs are 69¢/lb. Red onions are $2/bag.

C-Town: Boneless chicken tenderloins are $2/lb. I paid that for chicken breasts last week. I think this would just save me a cut before I turn them into shreds for tacos. Broccoli rabe is $3.

Food Bazaar: They charged me $2.49/lb instead of $1.49/lb for tomatillos so it will take an exceptional sale to make me return here, even though I need to go to their parking lot to recycle some clothes. Or maybe when I make hot pot and need shrimp. But nothing's worth it this week.

Foodtown: I wonder when the new Foodtown 1 block away will open so I don't go to the one 4 blocks away. I can get 50 pizza rolls for $4.49. I brought that many to a NYE party and people ate them all. They're a good food.

Green Corner: Dried hibiscus is $2 for 3.5 oz. My parents asked me to bring some for Christmas because it's easier to find here.

Ozzie's: nothing
