RVA Deals

Check out this week’s top picks for meat, dairy, veggies, fruits, and more. And find out what spectacular deal going on at Kroger this week!

I’m on vacation this week, doing my grocery shopping at Colorado’s Kroger-affiliated grocery chain called City Market. Despite the different sales and store layout, it’s oddly comforting to see the same style of shelf tags, and to hear “Thank you loyal customer” when I scanned my Kroger card at self-checkout. The warm fuzzies disappeared when I was given the third degree for trying to buy beer with an out-of-state license.

Note on Kroger’s Daytona 500 “Buy 10, get $3 off” sale: $3 will be deducted from your final grocery bill when you purchase any 10 participating items in a single transaction (Items are listed in the weekly circular and denoted by Daytona tags in-store).

Meat Top Pick

Kroger is advertising “wild caught” fresh Silverbrite salmon filets for $2.99/lb. Whole silverbrite salmon is only $1.99/lb. Sounds so affordable, I have to ask “What’s the catch?” No pun intended.

Veggie Top Pick

Get your red, juicy fix – Whole watermelons are $3.38 at Kroger.

Snacks & Sweets Top Pick

Chips are on sale – Get Cheetos & Fritos from Kroger for $1.38 after Daytona discount, or Tostitos or Doritos priced $2.50 at Ukrop’s.

  1. In marrying an Alaskan, I’ve learned a thing or two about salmon, and Silverbite (aka Chum) is not good quality. Spend an extra few bucks and pick up some fresh, wild-caught Chinook or Sockeye salmon.
