Giant of PA 8/10 to 8/16/08

This post is part of The Grocery Gathering, hosted by BeCentsAble.  To find the best deals at your local store, please visit her site!

I think that my standards for what constitutes a “good deal” are getting a bit too high, because I haven’t had a week that got me super-excited since the Genuardi’s Summer Savings Marathon.  If anything, this should serve as a reminder to you to stock your pantry when you can get the really good deals…that way you can get through the “slow weeks” like these!  With all of the Kellogg’s coupons that have come out recently, I had hoped that we would start seeing better sales at the supermarkets!  Anyway….

So while there are a few good deals, my overall reaction to this week’s ad?

Meh!
