Grocery deals week ending March 1, 2012

Taking a short break made me think about why I chose to start blogging in the first place. During my hiatus I told a good friend of mine that she could find grocery deals through various forums and I was touched by her response.  She said of course she could, but she would rather hear my deals because she trusts me. So on this Flyer Thursday, I am debuting a new weekly feature, Canadian Cheapo’s grocery deals. If possible, I try to arrange the items according to location in the store, e.g. produce is at the top of the list and it is usually located at the store entrance.

Happy shopping!
