The Daily Digest for Monday: Safeway Sneak Peeks, FREE Beyond Chik’n Tenders, My Late Night Baking and Cooking, Target Halloween Cat Houses, Amazon Deals + Much More for Less!

You can check out previous Daily Digests too, I keep a week’s worth of deals here.

I’ve changed the format of this a bit to make it easier for you to QUICKLY see the NEWEST Deals for the day (or Weekend Wrap-Ups.) I was struggling with how best to keep some of the previous deals around that were still good, without making it cumbersome to find that day’s New Deals. It seemed a shame to just delete some of the deals after a day that were still really good and long-term. But, I also want you to be able to quickly check on the newest ones, too! So, deals from the SAME day (or weekend wrap-up for 3-days) will be at the very top. Deals that you may want to reference later will follow.

In my Penny Pantry Facebook Group, I post many deals & info. throughout the day including freebies, deal updates & changes, Amazon Deals, meals & recipes, food discounts I run across + more! Some are more timely than others: the Amazon Warehouse Deals tend to come and go quickly, so Facebook is a good platform for me to let you know about those deals quickly.

Posts here on my website take longer to write and deliver, so I primarily use it for Weekly Grocery Deals, and other deals I think you may want to reference later. But, I’d like to bridge that gap as not everyone is on Facebook. Plus, it may be nice to have the Daily Deals together, as the Facebook feeds don’t run exclusively chronologically.

So, I’ll try this out and see how it goes! Please let me know if you think this will be useful as a companion to my Facebook posts. And, if you’re on Facebook and haven’t joined our group yet, I hope you will join and become part of our active, supportive vegan community! <3 Amy

Happy Saving!

NEW Deals – Quick List!

The Daily Digest for Monday, 7/26

  • Safeway Sneak Peek – Starts Wed.! We have a great week coming up including Buy 1 Get 1 FREE Ben & Jerry’s, Bagels $1.49/6 pack, $2.50/2 lbs. of Blueberries or Strawberries, $1.99/ 2 lbs. Frozen Veggies + More! Look for my all NEW Weekly Grocery Posts up tomorrow on my website. You can also see current week posts that are good thru tomorrow here.
  • After I made the banana muffins last night, I made a big batch of broccoli cheese soup for the week. I loosely followed Chef Chloe’s recipe from her 1st cookkbook, omitting oil. It is really yummy! I taste tested two bowls last night (!), and daughter had a bowl with sourdough. If you only make one thing this week, soup is a great option: frugal, inexpensive and filling.

  • FREE Ben & Jerry’s or Talenti at CVS! We have new high-value store coupons, I’ve added a couple of Deal Ideas under CVS HERE.
  • Winner Winner, FREE Beyond Chik’n Dinner! Free Beyond Chik’n Tenders tomorrow via Door Dash.
  • $30 FREE from Rakuten! Sign up as a new member and make a $30 purchase within the deadline to get $30.
  • Two FREE La Morena Products! Some should be vegan, check ingredients. The rebate is actually for $10 back on 2, so possibly a moneymaker. Thanks, HUNT4FREEBIES!
  • Made a batch of Chef AJ’s banana muffins, 1st time trying this recipe. They were yummy and sweet without any added refined sugar. These are the silicone muffin pans I used. This is the best deal I’m seeing right now for this set. I always put mine on top of a cookie sheet before baking to stabilize, as they’re kind of floppy.

Grocery Stores

  • These large packs of Impossible Burgers are still at my Safeway, I’ve heard they may be seasonal. $15.99 for 6 burgers.
  • We did our big monthly shopping at our local Warehouse store today. We buy items here that are the best price out of all our sources (using my Price Book). Many of these are items that don’t tend to come up at the best prices during weekly sales. If you don’t have this store, you may have a similar Warehouse type store. You can likely look up prices online, too, for comparison.
  • Shopping this weekend? Check out all these great deals for your list:
