Kroger’s “$4 off any 8 participating items” sale continues through Saturday with lots of sweet deals to be had; see last week’s RVA Deals for some additional bargain ideas.

Meat Top Pick

Sanderson Farms split chicken breast $.99/lb at Kroger

Veggie Top Pick

Organic celery $1 at Kroger

Fruit Top Pick

Red seedless grapes $.88/lb at MARTIN’S

Dairy Top Pick

Country Crock margarine 10-15oz. $1 – use $.40 printable coupon from Coupons.com

Staples Top Pick

MARTIN’S has a bargain this week if you’re in the market for peanut butter, jelly, or pancake mix. Receive $5 off when you purchase 5 participating products including:

• $1.50 Smucker’s jelly/jam, 32 oz. ($.25 off 1 from 5/23 RedPlum)
• $2.00 JIF peanut butter, 17.3-18oz. jar (($1 off when you buy both Smucker’s fruit spread and JIF peanut butter from 8/8 RedPlum insert or printable at RedPlum.com)
• $1.50 Hungry Jack pancake mix, 28-32oz. package ($.25 off 1 from 5/23 RedPlum)

So when you buy any five, even without coupons, the jelly and pancake mix are $.50 each and the peanut butter is $1! (One possible coupon scenario would be purchasing 2 jellies, 2 peanut butters, and 1 mix, and using two $1 off PB&J coupons plus one $.25 pancake coupon. Final price for 5 items would be $1 total!)
