Jon's Market - Valley Village


Well, 3 bunches of radishes for a $1, sounds good but the radishes aren't top notch, BUT boneless skinless chicken breasts for a $1.79 a lb, Roma Tomatoes 2lbs for $1, awesome deals until the 12th of January.  They were supposed to have 3 large Hass Avacados for a $1 but they didn't have any at the Magnolia store but they did have the small avacados for 4 a dollar and they are yummy.  This sale goes on until the 12th of Jan '10.




New find at TJ's


Cheddar Cheese New Zealand Sharp...grass fed and the price was great.  Sorry, left the label in a friends trash, will check exact price next time I go.  Trader Joes at Laurel and Ventura.

Wow, I didn't know Porterhouse and T-Bone were the same cut...but Porthouse is the first one.  So, you think I'm a geek. Porthouse/T-Bone Vons on sale (if you buy 3) at $3.77 a lb. (until Friday the 1st). Smart Balace $3.59 for the 2 pack (their online ad doesn't list it).


I was going to go to Ralphs because they had T-Bone for $5.99 a lb - but I thought, check Vons, they are both in Studio City, what the heck and lotsa dollars saved because of it.  They do have radishes, green onions and iceberg lettuce on sale until 1/5/10! Might have to stop by.

Vons vs Trader Joe's


Von's has boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.77 a lb...smoking deal  BUT WATCH OUT - their beautiful heads of cauliflower which I thought was $1.69 each I realized when I got home was $.169 a pound...Trader Joe's is $1.70 apiece - I  blew it! And I blew it again...Vons does have a bagged lettuce on sale for a $1.99...but I picked a bag off the shelf while they were re-stocking...Wrong Brand...I got home and realized I picked up the $3.99 a bag - shame on me but shame on Vons for not changing the sale sign first.  Trader Joes has raised the price of most bagged lettuce to $1.99 from $1.69 but usually what you see is what you get.  

The sign on those yummy baked Snapea Crisps said 99¢ not true, it was $1.50, only a 39¢ savings...I  don't know how that snafu occurred -  Lesson learned - be more scrupulous...check those signs and your receipt before you leave.  I should have just picked up the chicken  breasts at Vons and left.  (also got a a 2lb bag of mixed veggies for $2.50)...but I could have waited on the other stuff...not sure if it's work time and money to bring it back.  

Sale lasts through the 8th of December.
