It's a nice fall preview we're getting this week! I'm excited about the cooler weather, but I hope we have a few more summer afternoons before it's all over and done.

King Soopers has week two of the current Mega Event.

Safeway looks a little drab to me this week.

Albertson's has a few interesting deals, though, with a Mix & Match sale.

Sprouts has avocados for just 48 cents!

So what are you buying this week?

I use the same ads as your area. I agree with the Albertsons ad being interesting. It has been months since I shopped them but slowly being pulled back in.

My question: The Betty Crocker Mac & Cheese is it comparable to the blue box?
Any reviews?

My children are very opinionated! I will admit that I have not tried the free box from Kroger yet.

To me, the new Betty Crocker Mac & cheese is more like home style. It's creamier, richer, and the noodles are more like the elbows you'd use in homemade. It's also easier to cook! The instructions have you measure out all the ingredients at the beginning, and there's no draining the noodles.

It also comes with a Box Top 4 Education, so I think it's a winner.

I found something to stock up on at Safeway. The Nabisco Snak Saks will be 5/$5 on Friday (or all weekend if you download the J4U thing), and there were .75/2 Insert Q's that double to $1/2. I love the Snak Saks for lunchbox treats!
