Overall, this week's sales are good!
There are a lot of items on the list this week. It's growing season now for a lot of produce, so there is a lot of variety available right now!
One item that is on sale this week which I have never seen on sale before (in a grocery store - although I don't think I've ever really looked for it specifically) is castile soap.

Recipe/Meal Ideas for this week's "sales":

Happy Saving!
