Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, which means fish and seafood in all forms are widely available at deeply discounted prices – and are being heavily promoted even when they’re not deeply discounted.. Appropriately for the season, tomorrow is – for absolutely no reason I’ve been able to determine, as Lent rarely starts this early in the year – Crab-Stuffed Flounder Day. It’s also Drink Wine Day, and the day after, the 19th, is Mint Chocolate Day.
February 17th: National Indian Pudding Day
February 18th: Crab-Stuffed Flounder Day, Drink Wine Day
February 19th: National Chocolate Mint Day
February 20th: National Cherry Pie Day
February 21st: National Sticky Bun Day
February 22nd: National Margarita Day
February 23rd: National Banana Bread Day, Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day (I have eaten both and can state unequivocally that the former is by far to be preferred)
February 24th: National Tortilla Chip Day

Will someone please teach Hungry Girl how to cook?
It’s a week and a half to the Super Bowl and we’re already being inundated with promotions for beverages, salty crunchy things, and stereotypical “guy food”. Also large-screen TVs which are not under the purview of this handout.
February 3rd will be Carrot Cake Day, which it may be possible to render Points-friendly if you use something other than cream cheese for the frosting. Remember – all pickles are Points-free, and the first week of February is Shape Up With Pickles Week. Also there’s more to February than heart-shaped boxes of chocolate: February will be among many other things Berry Fresh Month (please believe I did not make that name up), Fiber Focus Month, National Grapefruit Month, and National Heart Healthy Month!
January 27th: Chocolate Cake Day
January 28th: National Blueberry Pancake Day
January 29th: National Corn Chip Day
January 30th: National Croissant Day
January 31st: Brandy Alexander Day
February 1st: National Baked Alaska Day
February 2nd: Heavenly Hash Day (I have never had the pleasure of enjoying "Heavenly Hash" and can find no two webpages that agree on how to make it -- or indeed whether it is a cake, a candy, a bar cookie, or a fruit salad. Fight it out amongst yourselves.)

The latest if not greatest
First, my humble apologies for never getting to last week's online version.
Slate has a fascinating article here on how food companies calculate what a “serving” is. I particularly noted this item, in the comments:
This fourth week of January is National Meat Week and also National Irish Coffee Week. Yesterday was, in descending order of healthiness and WW-compatibility, National Granola Bar Day, National Cheese Lovers’ Day, and National Buttercrunch Day -- you can find information about buttercrunch, and exactly how to differentiate it from toffee, here. And at least one person here, and I know who, will be actively celebrating National Peanut Butter Day on Sunday, the 24th.
The days:
January 20th: National Granola Bar Day, National Cheese Lovers' Day, National Buttercrunch Day
January 21st: New England Clam Chowder Day
January 22nd: National Blonde Brownie Day
January 23rd: National Rhubarb Pie Day
January 24th: National Peanut Butter Day
January 25th: National Irish Coffee Day
January 26th: National Pistachio Day
January 27th: Chocolate Cake Day

Slate has a fascinating article here on how food companies calculate what a “serving” is. I particularly noted this item, in the comments:
I remember once picking up a muffin in a convenience store and looking at the fat content. I was surprised to discover that it had only 10 grams of fat. But then I noticed something that made me laugh: this single, ordinary sized muffin was described as three servings. Yeah... one muffin = 3 servings. A pretty underhanded way to try and disguise the fact that the muffin had 30 grams of fat and not 10.

For the benefit of the new members: Welcome! I’m Wren and this is my nest. I talk too much during meetings (ask Debi, she’ll tell you). Every week I go through the newspaper grocery flyers and type up a list of the best prices locally for low-calorie, low-Points, and otherwise healthy foods, long on natural and whole foods and things made out of actual food ingredients. I usually manage to include some food trivia, and I should probably make clear that it is my personal hobby and is not in any way, shape, form, or fashion an official Weight Watchers publication. If you run across any good buys or other information I’ve missed, there's a whole empty Comments section down there just waiting.
The second week in January is National Pizza Week.
January 6th: Bean Day, National Shortbread Day
January 7th: National Tempura Day, Fruitcake Toss Day
January 8th: English Toffee Day
January 9th: National Apricot Day
January 10th: National Bittersweet Chocolate Day
January 11th: Milk Day, Hot Toddy Day
January 12th: Curried Chicken Day, National Marzipan Day
January 13th: National Peach Melba Day
I’ve seen fresh berries and even cherries in recent weeks. The blackberries are decent: I have not tried the cherries. They seem to come from Chile. Chicken is very low this week, as low as fifty cents a pound for whole birds; sadly last week’s good prices on boneless skinless chicken breast seem to have vanished except at Food City and Sprouts.
According to Consumerist, the cold weather in other parts of the country means that wheat and Florida citrus crops may be at risk, which in its turn means that the price of breakfast may rise. Consumerist also has an entertaining article, full of informative links, on how to safely save on your grocery bill by eating stuff you already have.

The second week in January is National Pizza Week.
January 6th: Bean Day, National Shortbread Day
January 7th: National Tempura Day, Fruitcake Toss Day
January 8th: English Toffee Day
January 9th: National Apricot Day
January 10th: National Bittersweet Chocolate Day
January 11th: Milk Day, Hot Toddy Day
January 12th: Curried Chicken Day, National Marzipan Day
January 13th: National Peach Melba Day
I’ve seen fresh berries and even cherries in recent weeks. The blackberries are decent: I have not tried the cherries. They seem to come from Chile. Chicken is very low this week, as low as fifty cents a pound for whole birds; sadly last week’s good prices on boneless skinless chicken breast seem to have vanished except at Food City and Sprouts.
According to Consumerist, the cold weather in other parts of the country means that wheat and Florida citrus crops may be at risk, which in its turn means that the price of breakfast may rise. Consumerist also has an entertaining article, full of informative links, on how to safely save on your grocery bill by eating stuff you already have.
And now the week’s good deals:

Oh boy
And such the results of my well-meaning resolution to update this blog regularly ...
That great Weight Watchers standby boneless skinless chicken breast is for some reason cheaply available everywhere I look this week. Do not pay more than $1.57/lb. There is a belief, however, that if you eat chicken on New Year’s Day you are fated to scratch for your living (as a chicken does) all year long: take this exactly as seriously as you please.
National Bread Month was ’way back in November, but January is Bread Machine Baking Month and National Wheat Bread Month. It is also National Candy Month (possibly to keep sales up during what may be a slump between December and February), National Egg Month, National Hot Tea Month, National Meat Month (no specific kind – just, generically, “meat”), National Oatmeal Month, National Soup Month, and Prune Breakfast Month.
December 30th: National Bicarbonate of Soda Day
December 31st: National Champagne Day
January 1st: Bloody Mary Day, Apple Gifting Day
January 2nd: National Cream Puff Day
January 3rd: Chocolate Covered Cherry Day (Some sources give it as Chocolate-Filled Cherry Day, although I don't think I've ever seen those)
January 4th: National Spaghetti Day
January 5th: National Whipped Cream Day
January 6th: Bean Day, National Shortbread Day
Most of my sources have no idea what Bean Day is or why it is celebrated on the sixth of January. They seem not to have made the historical-culinary connection of baking a King Cake for the feast of the Epiphany and putting a bean in it (the person who gets the slice with the bean is king, or queen, for the day).
So make a king cake. Or a pot of beans, for all of me.

Bargains and random observations
I think we can safely say the hot weather has broken for the year.
Anything for baking is a very good price or at least heavily promoted (huge piles near the supermarket entrance) and will be for another two weeks now. Holiday dinner entrees – roasting fowl, hams, and huge regions of cow – are also inescapable. This second week in December is Lager Week, and tomorrow, the 10th, is Lager Day. Saturday is National Cocoa Day – did you know that hot cocoa and hot chocolate are two different drinks? I didn’t: more at http://wwwrentips.blogspot.com. The 13th is another of the baffling ones, National Ice Cream And Violins Day (I like both but had never made a mental association before), and the 16th, a week from today, is (fanfare!) National Chocolate Covered Anything Day.
December 9th: National Pastry Day
December 10th: National Lager Day
December 11th: National Noodle Ring Day
December 12th: National Cocoa Day, National Ambrosia Day, Gingerbread House Day
December 13th: National Ice Cream and Violins Day
December 14th: National Bouillabaisse Day
December 15th: National Cupcake Day (another source has it as National Lemon Cupcake Day)
December 16th: National Chocolate Covered Anything Day (I could add links to that entry, but really a very disturbing percentage of them would not unsafe for a family blog)

Bargains and a bonus cartoon link
There was no bargain sheet (or posting) last week because there were no grocery flyers last week.
Welcome to December, National Fruit Cake Month. I dare you to tell me this comes as a surprise. (The best fruitcakes are from Collin Street Bakery, but you already know this. There are only three non-Collin-Street fruitcakes in the world, and each has been re-gifted to someone new every year since 1967.) It is also National Eggnog Month, another shocker, and the first week of December is National Cookie Cutter Week.
Aside from Thanksgiving itself, the only big thing we missed in the last week of November was the 29th, National Chocolates Day (as distinguished from National Chocolate Day, which was October 28th). Tomorrow is National Apple Pie Day, which is very nice for those who think as I do that apple pie is better than anything. The 5th is Repeal Day, in honor of the passing of the 21st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, so let us all drink to that. And then drink again the next day in honor of that greatest of conveniences, for it is National Microwave Oven Day.
December 2nd: National Fritters Day
December 3rd: National Apple Pie Day
December 4th: National Cookie Day
December 5th: Repeal of Prohibition Day, National Sachertorte Day
December 6th: National Gazpacho Soup Day, Microwave Oven Day
December 7th: National Cotton Candy Day (Shouldn't that come in summer?)
December 8th: National Chocolate Brownie Day

Welcome to December, National Fruit Cake Month. I dare you to tell me this comes as a surprise. (The best fruitcakes are from Collin Street Bakery, but you already know this. There are only three non-Collin-Street fruitcakes in the world, and each has been re-gifted to someone new every year since 1967.) It is also National Eggnog Month, another shocker, and the first week of December is National Cookie Cutter Week.
Aside from Thanksgiving itself, the only big thing we missed in the last week of November was the 29th, National Chocolates Day (as distinguished from National Chocolate Day, which was October 28th). Tomorrow is National Apple Pie Day, which is very nice for those who think as I do that apple pie is better than anything. The 5th is Repeal Day, in honor of the passing of the 21st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, so let us all drink to that. And then drink again the next day in honor of that greatest of conveniences, for it is National Microwave Oven Day.
December 2nd: National Fritters Day
December 3rd: National Apple Pie Day
December 4th: National Cookie Day
December 5th: Repeal of Prohibition Day, National Sachertorte Day
December 6th: National Gazpacho Soup Day, Microwave Oven Day
December 7th: National Cotton Candy Day (Shouldn't that come in summer?)
December 8th: National Chocolate Brownie Day
December 9th: National Pastry Day
