5 Reasons to Visit Giant This Week, 07/24-07/30

Let's get this party started:

1. Meat Buys:
   $1.79/lb. Top Round London Broil - BIG discount here, saving $3.20/lb. I have a feeling that a certain crock pot will be meeting the acquaintance of one of these here London Broil recipes.
   $1.99/lb. for 80% lean ground beef or Super G Italian Dinner Links (save at least $0.50/lb.)
   $0.99/lb. Chicken Drumsticks or Thighs or Super G Whole Chicken Twin Packs. Gina recently posted a comment with a wicked-looking Coq Au Vin crockpot recipe (thanks!), and this looks like a good sale to try it out.
2. Northwest Cherries, $1.49/lb. (half price, basically). These were pretty tasty at my Giant the last time they were on sale a couple of weeks ago - sweet and not too tart. They lasted a good couple of weeks in the fridge, too.
3. Marie Callender's Dinners or Pot Pies are 5/$10. There was a $1/1 Marie Callender's Pasta Al Dente coupon in the 05/17 SS that would make these $1 each. If you go to http://www.smartsource.com/ and select Marie Callender's from the upper-right pull down menu, you will get a $0.75/1 coupon, which doubled automatically, would make the frozen meals just $0.50 each! There may have also been a coupon in the June All You magazine.
4. Palermo's Pizza is 2/$9. Use this $1/1 printable coupon to get it for $3.50 each.
5. Ocean Spray Cranberry or Grapefruit varieties, 3/$5. Use the $0.55/1 grapefruit coupon (05/31 RP), which should make these just $0.55/jug!

Other notable deals: Frugally Blonde's Liz noted earlier this week that some Giant emails are offering "loadable" discounts and deals for your Giant BonusCard. Sign up online to make sure that your email account and BonusCard number are connected. All right!

Also, milk continues to be Buy 4, Get 1 Free. Gina of Moneywise Moms mentioned that the free milk counts toward your next round of 4 milks. While regular milk still hovers just above $2/gallon at Wegman's and Sam's Club, buying half-gallons of organic milk (~$3.69/each) would make it cheaper than buying entire gallons of organic milk ($5.79/each), by around $0.20/gallon, assuming the free milk feeds into the next round of milks. Your actual aggregate discount depends on however much milk you buy before the promo ends August 20th.
