I had to laugh when it was wondered if I have a prejudice against Pepsi products since I always seem to post about Coke products. Truthfully, yes I do have a slight prejudice because Johnny used to be a Pepsi drinker, and now is a Coke drinker. Though he doesn't realize it (and I've never pointed it out to him, but it does make me smile), the timing of this change was about this time last year after Grandpa died. His grandpa was an amazing teacher and a wonderful friend and an avid Coca-Cola drinker. Johnny's ultimate dream in life is to be like Grandpa. I'm okay with that.
Anyways, back to the topic at hand: Other than I mostly buy Coke products (I'm a Water kind of gal myself, with the occasional Dr. Pepper but that's a whole other story), the reason I haven't been posting the Pepsi deals is that they haven't had any really good ones, at least not compared with the Coke deals. But now that I know there is a specific request for them, I will try to scout them out and post them even if they aren't super spectacular. And I'm sorry to say, that none of the grocery stores have Pepsi on sale this week. And the only deal on Coke is 2 liter bottles at Fry's. (I almost never buy 2 liter bottles because a) they don't fit well in my refrigerator and b) they go flat before we can drink it all)
And just as an FYI, I don't post all of the sales and deals by any stretch of the imagination. I only pick the very best ones. If something is on sale, but not a very good price, I'm not going to post it because in my opinion, it's not worth buying. I'd rather wait until it is a good price.

huh...
Well, I guess ice cream isn't the only thing that is shrinking in package size - spaghetti sauce is, too. I'm sure we've all notice how ice cream has gone from 1/2 gallon (2 quarts) to 1.75 quarts, and one brand in particular has gone all of the way to 1.5 quarts in size. And, the prices have either stayed the same or perhaps even increased.
Yesterday, I had used all but 4 jars of spaghetti sauce in my pantry, so I got some more out to restock (I bought quite a bit when they were on sale a few months back for $0.99 for our favorite brand). As I was putting them on the shelf, I noticed that compared to the 4 "old" jars, the "new" jars were shaped a little differently - slightly taller and narrower. Sure enough, when I looked at the net weight, it was 24 oz instead of the standard 26 oz. Now are two ounces really that big of a deal - no, not really. But it's the principle! In most baking and cooking applications, container sizes are usually specified in a recipe that has been designed specifically for certain ingredient amounts. I personally think I would rather pay an extra $0.10 (pick them up for say $1.09 instead of $0.99 on sale) and still get the proper amount.
Now, I have only noticed it with one brand - Classico - but I wouldn't be surprised if other brands start doing the same. It seems to be the way a lot of things are going these days! All in all, it just made me think "huh...I wonder what's next..."

Fry's Mega Sale
After I dropped Spencer off at school, Anne and I headed over to Fry's.

I ended up doing two transactions, and all together, I spent $31, and saved just under $200. I bought 75 items all totaled, so the average price is about $0.413 per item.
And baby carrots aren't part of the "Mega Sale", but are $1 each!

Fry's Mega Sale soon?
It is being reported that starting Wednesday, Fry's will be running another Mega Sale (the buy 10 items, get $5 off sale). Last year, this was when I was able to get free evaporated milk, hot cocoa, and really cheap sugar and chocolate chips. So far, only partial lists have been put together, but it's looking hopeful for free evaporated milk again.
Check out Maryanne's post about the upcoming sale at My Penny Pile. Sometimes the prices here different than in Texas, but usually, it's the same items that are on sale.

Grocery Ads
Safeway is who is going to be getting my money this week! I have been needing to bottle some pork chunks, and they have the best price.
Albertson's -
Breyer's Ice Cream - $1.99 each when you buy 4
Coke Products - 12 pack - $2 each when you buy 4
Hansen Apple Juice - $0.99 - limit 2
Fry's - for a limited time, all manufacture's coupons are worth $1! HOWEVER, I just read on ABC 15's Smart Shopper website that you are only allowed 3 coupon PER TRANSACTION to be worth the $1. Normally at Fry's, you get to use 3 "like" coupons, and as many coupons per transaction as you want. ("like" coupons are coupons that are for the same products - ie: if I buy 5 boxes of Cheerios, I can use 3 Cheerios coupons and they will be doubled.) I assume this is accurate information, but you may want to call your specific Fry's and verify if it is indeed 3 coupons per transaction or 3 "like" coupons per transaction.
Note: I just called "my" Fry's, and the lady said that it is 3 "like" coupons! Truthfully, though, I'm not sure it makes that much of a difference to me since I don't think I have any $0.10 or even $0.25 coupons...I'll have to look.
Pork Half Loin - $1.69/lb

Post Cereals & Nature Valley Granola Bars - $1.57 each when you buy 4

Safeway - they are making all coupons $0.20 to $0.99 in value worth $1. I have no idea what their rule and stipulations are - call your store and ask.
