Happy Pi Day (3.14) — and yet I see NO deals on pie this week. What’s up with that? On the positive side, have you noticed dairy prices finally coming down? Several of the ads this week show milk for under $3 a gallon and butter for less than $2 a pound. Finally.
It’s also St. Patrick’s Day week, which means the best prices you’ll see on cabbage and corned beef all year.
Here are the highlights for Chicago grocery sales March 14-March 21.
(Note: I managed to leave about half the ads on my kitchen cart at home, and I’m at the gym. I’ll fill in the other deals this afternoon.)
