Good Deals for the Week: 10/28/2009 - 11/3/2009

I didn't post anything last week because there really wasn't anything to post about. I didn't even go out shopping for anything other than milk and some produce. This week, however, is much different, so I figured I'd tell you about a few things and share what I bought.

First of all, no ad for Albertson's this week - at least for areas where the local stores have been sold to Associated. I found out that the switch-over was delayed and didn't happen last weekend as planned. I've heard that it will be this weekend, but no guarantees since it's been postponed twice now. There are a few stores in the Salt Lake and Provo areas that didn't get sold and have some pretty good deals this week, but only those stores will be honoring the sale prices. From what I've heard, these stores will continue to be Albertson's until sometime around the first of the year and then close completely. You can check out the PYP/GS lists to see the location of those stores and what the deals are. Honestly, I didn't see anything that hasn't been on sale recently, but check it out if you live near one - it might be worth the trip!

The good deals I wanted to share this week are at Smith's. They are having one of their Mega Sales Events for the next two weeks - basically buy 10 participating items and get $5 off instantly. There are a ton of items in the sale and a bunch of great deals! Again, check out the PYP/GS lists for further details. Also, they are having a Halloween sale tomorrow and Saturday (10/30-10/31) where a bunch of halloween decorations, costumes, and food are on sale for great deals. So be sure to make note of those deals as well.

My family and I (yes, I took the whole clan with me) went to Smith's yesterday to buy our cart full of items from the Mega Sale. I didn't get a chance to get a picture (sorry about that), but here are the details of my purchase:
