Meal for 4 with dessert under $7! (Phoenix Grocery Sale List)

admin — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 23:19:26 +0000

This week is all about the “other white meat”. You can purchase pork loin for under $2 per lb or pork chops for under $1 per lb. The price of peaches keeps coming down and with baking ingredients on sale this week we decided that the perfect “economy vacation” meal using grocery sales items for the week would come from my mom and from Joan (Cooks.com).

This week, make Brandied Apples and Pork served with Warm Peach Cobbler and Vanilla Ice Cream. It will cost you under $7!

Below find the link to this week’s Phoenix Grocery Sale list by grocery store as well as these yummy recipes. You can print out your grocery list right from the file and plan your grocery budget for the week. By using this list, by husband and I saved over $100 last week alone, by sticking to only the sale items. (It’s fun to watch the grocery clerks eyes bug out when you check out and they read off your total savings.) You have to have some fun while unemployed… and only have the grocery store as your big “date” out for the week.

admin — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:47:21 +0000

This week offers some amazing deals on picnic and cookout items at local Phoenix grocery stores. It’s a perfect time to stock up on some items that you can cook at your holiday outings this weekend as well as freeze for use later in the next few weeks. Since this is a time to spend with family and friends to celebrate our Independence Day, our recipes this week are from our own family recipe vault. For about $10, you can make fall off the bone BBQ ribs served with chilled broccoli salad for a family of four (and still have some extras to share with other cookout guests).

“Save $133 per year on water” submitted by Barbara of Phoenix, AZ

admin — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 23:00:16 +0000

When I first moved to Arizona I resented having to buy water. Then I discovered that you can go to Circle K or Walgreens with your own gallon jug and for 25 cents (10 years ago) you could get a gallon of reverse osmosis water. Much better than the 89 cents per gallon that I currently buy… you see, I don’t have a water filtration system. I can’t cook or make tea or coffee with the tap water. I think I go through around 4 gallons (at least) of water each week. Just went and bought water yesterday. Well, being on an “economy vacation” myself, I remembered this cost savings tip and researched the current prices. I found that Circle K still charges 25 cents for 1 gallon, $1.00 for 5 gallons (or 20 cents each). They have “Glacier” water. So, I am going to use this cost savings method to help save a little each month.

FROM ANGELA & ERIN:

Wow! Thanks Barbara. Definitely every bit helps. So, using Barbara’s tip, you could save as much as $133 per year (4 gallons per week usage, 64 cent savings per gallon at 52 weeks per year). Note to our vacationers outside of AZ, please check out your local convenient stores to see if they have this special offer.

Phoenix Clipper Tuesdays: Vol 1

admin — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:05:14 +0000

Phoenix, AZ (Week of June 10-June 16, 2009):

So with all this extra time on my hands and little money in my pocket to do things outside the home, going to the grocery store has become one of the “big outings” for the week. It was never something I enjoyed prior to meeting my husband. I would be called a “mission shopper”… get in and get out. I would even make the grocery list in the order of the aisles so I could speed up the process. Now, with my free time, and with him by my side, we actually browse or today, the equivalent of window shopping unless it’s “on the list”.

So speaking of list, this is my theme for Tuesday’s blog. Introducing Phoenix Clipper Tuesdays. Maybe you remember the days–or at least heard of them–you know the days when your mom would clip coupons, read sales papers and plan the week’s meals. No, I am not exactly talking June Cleaver, but there is something to be learned from planning. In fact, it can help you save money during these economy vacation days. I thought I would use my organization skills for the greater good and share with you a list of some hot sales by some our local retailers. In addition, some recipes to incorporate some of your grocery deals. Goal: Save money and have some fun cooking.

Each week, an excel file will be attached to the blog that provides a listing by store of the best deals. Although some stores may be advertising similar specials of the same product, only the items that are the cheapest will appear. I have also had some fun categorizing “why should I buy” this product. Foods will be marked if they are included in the weekly recipes, if they are good items to keep in the pantry (use later), if they are healthy and/or if they are a guilty pleasure (c’mon, we need something!) On the first tab will be some recipes utlizing some of the sale items.

This is a trial, so would love your feedback and suggestions. If you see a deal or have a good recipe, please share.

Bon apetit fellow economy vacationers!

Sincerely,

Angela
