Update 11/01: 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

Note on photos: Some may be illustrative of a product, but not the actual product. For example, I may use a general photo of apples I took to report on a sale on apples.

Happy Saving!

NEW Deals – Quick List!

• Safeway $5 Friday is Tomorrow: Lay’s Chips $1.16, Strawberries 2 lbs. $5 + More! Scroll to the very bottom of my post to see all the vegan deals included in the sale.
• Safeway $5 Friday: I believe bagels are now included every week in the $5 Friday Sale. $5 for a dozen bagels, just $.41 ea. Last week, I saw they were included and they weren’t advertised. There was also a sign that said donuts were included every week, no vegan on those but made me think bagels are also in that deal.
• Sprouts $5 off $30 Organic: Looks like you don’t need a coupon to get the discount like I had thought, should come off automatically.

• Lots of great Weekly Grocery Deals, some are available online too.
• Reminder: We have thru Saturday on these Target Deals.

• Great vegan finds at At 99 Cents Only Store!!!! The store posted this, hoping these finds are common to all the stores.
• Local Friends: $5 off $50 at the Concord Willow Pass Grocery Outlet location. Can show on your phone. I messaged to see if we can use it other locations, but I’m thinking probably not. One of our members said her store was handing out coupons, however. (May have been on receipt with purchase for future use).
• Grocery Outlet: I’m happy to see that coupons are making an appearance again, and even in a new way via Facebook as I shared earlier. I’ve added that to my post about Grocery Outlet Coupons. BTW, my parents used to shop here back when it was called “Canned Foods.” Anyone else remember that?

Holidays:

I’ve been putting Easter posts under this Holiday heading

We are starting to see some of our yearly sales on baking items. The best price I’ve found for baking items is usually in bulk large 25 lb. bags. My local Warehouse store, Smart Foodservice is where I tend to get the best price per lb. However, this time of year, flour, sugar and more will be on sale in regular stores, too. Sometimes this will beat my Warehouse store prices.

I’m starting to add more to the “Holiday” Posts on my website. Take a peek!
