Hello again! Welcome back to another grocery post – all about the best way to save money on your family’s groceries this week. All prices are in effect August 28 – September 3, 2025 unless otherwise noted. There always seems to be a theme of the week, as in the items that are most consistently on sale. Once I’ve finished all the writing of the actual post I’ll come back and fill that in below!
Theme of the week: There, that makes it sound good and official. haha Okay, I’m back, and not entirely sure there was a clear theme of the best deals this week. Corn is still on sale for really CHEAP at both Walmart and No Frills. Oh yeah, and at Superstore too. Okay, corn it is! It is this week’s cheapo theme item. I’ve been eating corn for weeks now. haha Nothing like some freshly cooked corn…Oooh, that makes me think I’ll write a post about the easy way to cook corn in the microwave. Okay here it is: the Easiest way to Cook corn in the microwave. 🙂 You’re welcome. Hahaha.

- Ocean’s solid white tuna OR Gold Seal pink salmon $2.50 (I’ve stocked up on quite a few cans of the salmon – it was already marked down when I visited! And that’s an awesome price now for canned salmon. Sometime I’ll have to share my simple Salmon Cakes recipe.)
