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

List of various healthy/low-calorie/low-Points/low price bargain opportunities (with tips and irrelevant trivia), week of November 4th
The very first of the new crop of navel oranges are in, heralding the Annual Southwestern Citrus Inundation. Within a few months you will not be able to enter a retail establishment without having citrus fruits fling themselves at your head.
Today is National Candy Day. Why National Candy Day comes four days after Halloween is a mystery. Tomorrow is Guy Fawkes Night – “Remember, remember the Fifth of November!” Sunday is National Harvey Wallbanger Day. I do not have enough imagination to make up such items as these:
November 4th: National Candy Day
November 5th: National Doughnut Day
November 6th: National Nachos Day
November 7th: Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day
November 8th: National Cappuccino Day, National Harvey Wallbanger Day
November 9th: National Scrapple Day, Cook Something Bold & Pungent Day
November 10th: National Vanilla Cupcake Day
November 11th: National Sunday Day
Albertson’s has the first free turkeys of the year: this week only, if you spend $100 at a single transaction you can get a free turkey up to 15 lbs. (You may need a coupon, but it’s on the front page of the flyer which is available at the door.) Starting this week, in fact, turkeys, whole hams, and anything used for baking will be either on sale or heavily promoted in every store you step into.
If you’re thinking of deep-frying a turkey this year: A three-ounce serving of oven-roasted turkey breast contains 125 calories and 1.8 grams of fat, with a Points count of 3. Three ounces of deep-fried turkey breast contains 335 calories and 21 grams of fat, for a Points total of 8.
If you run across any good bargains I’ve missed, there’s a whole empty Comments box down there just waiting.

Various bargains and food-related information, week of October 28th
According to Consumerist, Burger King in Japan are selling a seven-layer Whopper in honor of the release of Windows 7 – and if you ask nicely and pay for it, Burger King in the U.S. might make one for you. According to someone who’s eaten one, it’s “like eating an elephant.” According to my own very rough calculations (I took the count from a standard Whopper and added the Points for six more hamburger patties), it is twenty-nine Points. They’re your Points to spend, but I can think of better things to spend them on.
Yale University’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity has released a study -- covered at (again) Consumerist and Consumer Reports -- on the marketing of sugar-laden breakfast foods. According to their research, on 277 different cereal varieties, “cereals marketed directly to children have 85 percent more sugar, 65 percent less fiber, and 60 percent more sodium than cereals marketed to adults.” Also, of the cereals advertised directly to children, “only 8 percent meet the nutrition standards needed to be included in the USDA’s food stamp program”.
November is Georgia Pecan Month, Good Nutrition Month, National Fun With Fondue Month, National Peanut Butter Lovers’ Month, National Pepper Month, National Pomegranate Month, Raisin Bread Month, Vegan Month, and the third consecutive National Apple Month. This Friday, the 30th, is National Candy Corn Day – Debi, there’s your excuse. Sunday, November 1st, is very unofficially National Half Price Chocolate Day.

AT LAST! What was that about, Blogspot?
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 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
