All the best healthy deals, week of October 7th

THE HEAT HAS BROKEN. LET US ALL CELEBRATE.

And I'm sorry this week's printout was so hard to read -- I kept pulling the toner cartridge out and shaking it, but it didn't help much.

Albertson’s is having a good seafood sale this week, for those fortunate enough to like seafood. In fact, since October is National Seafood Month you may be able to find it at good prices – or at least heavily promoted – all month long. It is also Popcorn Poppin’ Month – spelling not mine – and National Chili Month. And this, the second week in October, is not National Beer Week but National American Beer Week along with National School Lunch Week and – I hope you all remembered your cans to drop in the box – National Food Bank Week.

Tomorrow is National Fluffernutter Day. This was not my idea. Friday is Moldy Cheese Day, and before you make faces remember that mold is what makes the bleu cheese bleu. (Debi, who if I recall correctly does not like bleu cheese, is probably right now appreciating that it is correctly pronounced “blergh”.)

And for just a little more blergh in case that wasn’t enough, a week from today is National Chocolate Covered Bugs Day. Yummee. In fact:

October 7th: National Frappe Day
October 8th: National Fluffernutter Day
October 9th: Moldy Cheese Day, National Submarine/Hoagie/Hero/Grinder/Wedgie/Po' Boy/Huge Long Overloaded Sandwich Day
October 10th: National Angel Food Cake Day
October 11th: National Sausage Pizza Day
October 12th: National Gumbo Day, World Egg Day
October 13th: National Yorkshire Pudding Day
October 14th: National Chocolate Covered Bugs Day
