Finally I'm able to post! Blogger was down last night every time I tried.
Hat-tip to Consumerist: “As part of its ongoing efforts to ‘help consumers balance calories consumed with calories expended,’ Coca-Cola plans to roll out a 90-calorie can later this year.” This 90-calorie can will still contain five and one-half teaspoons of sugar.
Pork is down, probably because of the season.
Today is both National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day and National Caramel Apple Day. The 25th is National Greasy Foods Day, a day we all will certainly honor more in the breach than the observance; and the 28th is National Wild Foods Day. (Don’t look like that. If you’ve ever eaten a mulberry off a tree, you’ve foraged for wild food.) This fourth week of October is also Chicken Soup For The Soul Week. More food-of-the-day days this week:
October 21st: Caramel Apple Day, National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day
October 22nd: National Nut Day
October 23rd: National Canning Day, National Boston Cream Pie Day
October 24th: National Bologna Day, Good & Plenty Day
October 25th: National Greasy Foods Day
October 26th: Pumpkin Day, Pretzel Day, Mince Meat Pie Day
October 27th: National Potato Day, American Beer Day (Oddly enough, National Potato Month is September.)
October 28th: National Chocolate Day (how many of those are there?), Wild Foods Day

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

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

Bargains and good deals for the week of September 30
Bye-bye, summer fruit, you were nice while you lasted. The new crops of winter squashes and some root crops are in.
Milk is still up except at Safeway.
September 30 was National Hot Mulled Cider Day, proof positive that the people who plan these "holidays" do not live in central Arizona. The first week of October is National Chili Week, and October in fact is National Chili Month, so you'd better make a big pot. October is also Eat Country Ham Month, Fair Trade Month, National Apple Month (yes, again!), National Applejack Month (not the breakfast cereal), National Caramel Month, National Cookie Month, National Dessert Month (as if we needed any encouragement in that area!), National Pasta Month, National Pickled Peppers Month, National Pizza Festival Month, National Popcorn Poppin’ Month, National Pork Month, National Pretzel Month (not to be confused with National Soft Pretzel Month, which is April), National Sausage Month, National Seafood Month, and Vegetarian Awareness Month.
September 30th: National Hot Mulled Cider Day
October 1st: World Vegetarian Day, Pudding Season Begins, Homemade Cookies Day
October 2nd: National Fried Scallops Day
October 3rd: National Caramel Custard Day
October 4th: National Taco Day, National Vodka Day

Belated bargain guide, supposedly for the week of September 16th
Sorry, everyone, for the delay, but I think I'm going to survive this cold. And I do mean to see you at next week's meeting if I can manage it without infecting you all.
Chicken is pretty good at a number of places. I think we may be seeing the last of the stone fruits for this year: pity. The new crops of pears and apples are moving in. Grapes are very good.

Bargain guide, week of September 2nd
Sorry for the shortness of this week’s sheet: I got no flyers for Rancho Grande, Smart & Final or Sprouts.
Welcome to September. Welcome also to – I swear I could not make all of these up – Food Safety Month, National Rice Month, National Potato Month, National Honey Month, National Papaya Month, National Biscuit Month, National Chicken Month, National Mushroom Month, National Better Breakfast Month, National Ice Cream Sandwich Month, National Organic Harvest Month, National Cholesterol Awareness Month, and National Bourbon Heritage Month. It is also National Apple Month, but that will continue through November – yes, apples get three consecutive months all their own.
Labor Day is this weekend, which means good prices on soft drinks and anything that can be put onto a grill. Stone fruits are still good, apples and pears are coming in: typing this up every week has made me so much more aware of the seasonality of fruits and how it changes, not just month to month but week to week!
Wine Season and Oyster Season both begin this month.
September 2nd: National Blueberry Popsicle Day
September 3rd: National Welsh Rarebit Day (I am a traditionalist and still think of it as "Welsh rabbit")
September 4th: National Macadamia Day, Eat an Extra Dessert Day
September 5th: National Cheese Pizza Day
September 6th: National Coffee Ice Cream Day
September 7th: National Acorn Squash Day (healthy), National Napoleon Day (not so much)
September 8th: National Date Nut Bread Day
September 9th: National Weinerschnitzel day, National Steak au Poivre Day (that recipe is better with red wine instead of beef broth)

Bargain guide, week of August 26th
The Costco at Country Club may still have champagne grapes. Everywhere else has seedless red grapes for very good prices. Strawberries are ending but stone fruits are still good, and the first prune plums (the small sweet black ones) are in.
Some healthy -- and some not-so-healthy -- days this week, albeit a bit belatedly:
August 26th: National Cherry Popsicle Day
August 27th: National Pots-de-Creme Day
August 28th: National Cherry Turnover Day
