Best Grocery Deals in Phoenix Area

I am going to start a new weekly column here that will highlight what I find to be the best grocery deals for the week in the Phoenix area. Some of them may also apply to those living in other areas of the country (if you have the same grocery store), but mostly they are for those local to this area. The reason I have decided to do this is that I have a number of friends who I send out a weekly email on Wednesdays to with this information, and I figured since I was already compiling the list, I might as well share it just in case there are others in the area that might benefit as well.

I will most often post this on Wednesdays since that is when the sales ads usually arrive. Most of our area sales run from Wednesday through Tuesday, but a few are Monday through Sunday or Sunday through Saturday. I will try to make note of that for each store.

Also, you will want to note that I am NOT including all specials or sales. I am only including those items that I have found that are truly a good deal and most of them will not include processed food items since I don't buy them and therefore wouldn't know if they were a good deal or not:-)
