We used to do EXTENSIVE grocery match-ups for every store across the nation. We don’t have that capacity any more. But groceries are such a substantial portion to saving each month that I want to go back to a weekly HIGH LEVEL post with the best, of the best, deals at our local stores. You can expect this post to publish weekly on Tuesday nights or Wednesday mornings when the new ads come out.
