We didn't find any post-inauguration sales, but there are plenty of coupons from Raley's, 48-hour budget-stretchers from Safeway and Save Mart celebrating its 57th anniversary with prices to match.
Here are the highlights:
It took me a minute to figure it out, but check the SAVE MART ad because it is so creative. Every price on the front - except for the fresh pork spareribs (at $1.37 a pound) end in .57. So you have London broil for $2.57lb; a case of Crystal Geyser spring water for $3.57; an 18oz. carton of blueberries for $3.57 and peanut butter for $1.57.
