She's Baaaaacck! Nothing like a week away to make you appreciate your local grocery stores. Although, Pavilions (an upscale version of Safeway) is a very nice place to shop. And some of our old favorites - like Ralph's and Albertson's - live on in Southern California.
But now it's back to reality and Shopping Cheap. Here's what's happening this week:
Let's start with Save Mart where you can stock up on beef backribs for 67-cents a pound and boneless chuck roast for $1.97lb.
