Next stop.....Super Target (in Tulare, CA)
First, my meat story........I noticed the meat guy walking around putting coupons on some of the meat. I went browsing behind him, picked up a roast for a fair price.....then noticed that some of the pork chops (Hormel Always Tender) were supposed to be $1.90 a pound (signage). I asked him about it, and he looked at the sign then agreed. He took them back and re-priced them......and left the $3 off coupons he had put on them!!! well.....I LOVE A MEAT DEAL!!! I bought 6 packages for an average of just over $3 a package. They have about 8 pork chops in them each.....even if we make 2 packages for dinner and have leftovers for lunch...still a good deal. Our Target has nice meat too.

Of note, 1 package of the keebler cookies was eaten before the groceries were all inside the house....by daddy, the Queen, and the Athlete.....all the while, the Queen was announcing that she does not eat Salami because it isn't healthy! LOL!
