The weekly highly unofficial sheet of tips and bargains leavened with, God help you, whatever I find interesting

Jim and Alice -- welcome back, it's good to see you again!

Today is, to rectify my egregious misspelling in last week’s blog entry, National Sundae Day. Tomorrow is National Pizza With Everything (Except Anchovies) Day. These are not to be taken as recommendations. The 14th is National Pickle Day, and this you may indeed take as a recommendation as most pickles (except possibly the sweet kind) are Points-free.

November 11th: National Sundae Day
November 12th: National Pizza With Everything (Except Anchovies) Day
November 13th: National Indian Pudding Day
November 14th: National Guacamole Day, National Pickle Day
November 15th: National Raisin Bran Day
November 16th: National Fast Food Day
November 17th: National Baklava Day, Homemade Bread Day
November 18th: National Vichyssoise Day

For this entire week – November 11th thru the 17th – Albertson’s is offering a 10% discount to all military personnel, whether active-duty, reserve, or retired. (ID required.)

Quoting from the Fry’s flyer: “Fry’s will price-match our Jennie-O frozen turkey price to the lowest price offered by Safeway, Bashas’ or Albertson’s on a Grade A frozen turkey through Thanksgiving. If you find a lower price from those retailers listed, we will refund the difference when you present the receipt at your Fry’s store.”
