Cheapo’s grocery deals – week ending March 8, 2012

This week, I plan to shop at Metro for the meat deals and No Frills to fill in the gaps. Due to the meat sales, my grocery bill this week will be higher than usual. However, my monthly total usually ends up being the same since I don’t purchase meat every week.

FreshCo

If you like to bake, FreshCo has a ton of baking supplies on sale, such as eggs, flour, butter, sugar, and ingredients for making pies.

I find that most people want to hear about the same deals every week, specifically cheese, chicken, toilet paper and Tide detergent. Please leave me a comment if you want me to focus on a particular item or store and I’ll try to accommodate your request.
