Bargain guide, week beginning March 30th

Tomorrow is Oranges and Lemons Day! It’s also Tater Day (not to be confused with National Potato Day) and National Clams on the Half Shell Day, and so ends March. April is National Food Month, besides being National BLT Month, National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month, and National Soft Pretzel Month. Saturday, the 2nd, is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! And the 3rd is, depending on which source you choose, either National Chocolate Mousse Day or National Chocolate Moose Day.

Also we have the birthdays of sliced bread and the dishwasher (on the 1st), and both Teflon and the frozen TV dinner (the 6th, one week from today).
