Summer Savings Continue at Local Grocery Stores

Frugal Family was pleased to see in this week’s mail fliers that good food deals are continuing beyond the recent holiday. We’re at a peak for summer produce, and our local grocers are right there with reduced prices for all to enjoy. If the holiday weekend was hectic for you and you didn’t get a chance to enjoy all of the specials,no worries. Take a look at what’s offered this week and don’t forget to check your favorite grocer’s website for even more deals.

• Vons – Vons has highlighted some produce with extra-low prices. Yellow peaches are 77 cents a pound. Mangos are 77 cents each. One-pound containers of strawberries are two-for-$3 or $1.50 each. Large green peppers are two-for-$1. Vons is also trying to help the needy obtain food by selling pre-filled bags of groceries for $10 that are then donated to local food banks. If you haven’t had a chance to “pay it forward” lately, here’s an easy and affordable way to do so.

• Albertsons – Albertsons is answering the need for cold treats to cool us down during this warmer weather. Buy any four featured ice cream treats and receive $3 off.

This week Albertsons also mailed out its Book of Savings, and it is full of specials, with and without the need for a coupon. If you haven’t signed up for Albertsons online, now’s the time.
