MARTIN’S Deals for the week of December 26

 

I didn’t see any deals that jumped out at me this week with MARTIN’S, but I did find free pasta and some more party foods on sale. 

There is a small box on the back of this week’s MARTIN’s ad that says if you buy $8 worth of expressions from Hallmark party goods with your BONUSCARD you get $5 off instantly – that is a great deal.  Stock-up on plates and napkins for birthday parties, baby or bridal showers.  Paper products can really add up when you are having a party.  I don’t think that you get the $5 off for every $8 that you purchase so if you end up with $16 worth of products I would suggest you purchase them in two separate transactions.

Meat:

• GIANT Fresh Whole Boneless Pork Tenderloin (10-12lb) – $1.89/lb (cut free to your specifications)
• Ground Beef (80/20) – $1.99/lb
• GIANT Split Chicken Breast (4-5 lb) – $1/lb
• USDA Choice Top Round London Broil – $2.99/lb (not a stock-up price, but not a bad price)
• Fresh Whole Pork Shoulder Roast – $0.99/lb (Great for making barbecue in your crock-pot)
• GIANT Whole Chicken – $0.99/lb

 

Produce:

I have been adding the bag salad deals to most of my weekly post.  I know that lots of people think that bag salad is expensive and a waste of money.  I have to agree that bag salad can be expensive and a convenience only item.  But, there have been weather problems with the farms on the West coast, where most of our lettuce comes from (especially in the winter).  The cost of a head of lettuce is really high right now.  (I think it was $1.79 for a head of iceberg lettuce last week and $1.99/lb for a head of Romaine.)  When you look at the fact that you are getting all edible lettuce (no core), that is already cleaned and chopped – the $2 to $2.50 a bag isn’t such a bad deal.  I also like to look for the bags that have the $1 off sticker on them because they are close to their best by date – that makes it an even better deal.
