I’m in a rush to get to get my house clean and put together for what I’m calling the “Cavalcade of Company” that begins this Thursday* and will continue through Labor Day. It’s so we don’t have to travel with three small children or spend the money or sleep in guest rooms/hotel rooms with three kids who have, as we call them, “the jimmy legs.” You get no sleep, just kicked continuously in the stomach, groin, whatever awkward angle they’re in over the course of the night.
So I’m taking a break from Meal Planning this week, but you can still see what’s going on over at Menu Plan Monday at OrgJunkie. Yes, we’re still eating, but you can guarantee we’re eating the same old summertime fare that we did last week and the week before. I’m boring like that.
There are some good deals coming up at Safeway Wednesday, so I’ll get that to you, otherwise I’m going to link out to others so you don’t miss anything (like below). I also have a ton of home decor posts that I need to share with you, because that’s where my head is right now. I’m spending less time on the computer and more time working around the house. I
Here’s a link out: Apparently it’s Back to School season (!), so I’m sending you over to Affluent Pauper’s Back to School Deals post. She’s got a list of everything that’s on sale everywhere this week–and there are some great deals to be had at Staples and CVS–but I’m soooo not thinking about back to school. I’m just getting a handle on the summer!
*Thursday my in-laws are coming to visit, and by “visit” I mean we’re going to work on fixing all the drywall from our plumbing problems last month. And replacing a toilet and tile floor. And a whole list of other things. If we have time. Oh–and go to the Air & Space Museum.













Love your site and would love to know how you get advanced copies of the circulars (you mentioned that the Safeway deals were good this week). I often have my "Tuesday Quandary": do I wrap up the good deals from this week, or hold off for potential better ones advertised tomorrow?! ~Jen in southern MD
I see the West Coast ads ahead of time because they're usually posted about a week early at the Slickdeals Safeway thread:

While the promos are nationwide, usually the front page deals vary GREATLY between the West Coast and everywhere else. For example, their meat, chicken, and produce prices are so much lower than here (NoVA, East Coast).
Thanks, Gina. I'll have to check out that thread. And you're right about the covers varying! The vary even within the region (i.e. NOVA is often a little different from DC, which is different from S.MD.) Thx for all the work you put in to this site. ~Jen
