Bargain guide, week beginning May 25th

Disclaimer, which I should add to the handout (and this blog) more frequently: You are reading my hobby. You are not reading any sort of remotely official Weight Watchers publication. Not even slightly. Noop.

Today is National Wine Day, and also National Brown Bag It Day, although for the sake of your reputation I do not suggest you combine the two. Tomorrow is National Cherry Dessert Day, and if you make your dessert a bag of fresh cherries all by themselves that is a Points-free dessert. Slap anyone who tries to take them away. The 27th is Grape Popsicle Day, and if you spin some grapes in your food processor until they are mush and then freeze them in a popsicle mold that too is Points-free and will not turn your tongue purple.

May 25th: National Wine Day, National Brown-Bag It Day
May 26th: National Cherry Dessert Day, National Blueberry Cheesecake Day
May 27th: National Grape Popsicle Day
May 28th: National Brisket Day
May 29th: National Coq au Vin Day
May 30th: National Mint Julep Day, National Hamburger Day, National Barbecue Day
May 31st: National Macaroon Day
June 1st: National Hazelnut Cake Day

For easily deducible reasons the heaviest promotions this week are for anything that can be cooked on a grill, which these days includes very nearly everything short of peas, but the strongest emphases will be on burgers, hotdogs, and large sections of large animals.

At Fooducate, we learn that fifteen Walgreen’s stores in the San Francisco Bay area are to start carrying a selection of fresh fruits and veggies! I hope this trend spreads nationwide.
