Seasonal produce steals

Fresh yellow squash — Each $0.83 (about $1.66/lb)

Yellow squash is at a strong summertime price — great for sautés, grilling, or pickling.

Fresh grape tomatoes — 10 oz package $2.27 (22.7¢/oz)

Sweet and ready-to-eat grape tomatoes are a versatile, salad-friendly buy this week.

Fresh green cabbage — Each $2.59 (about 85.0¢/lb)

Head cabbage at this price is perfect for coleslaw, braises, or making your own fermented batches.

Pantry, refrigerated, and convenience picks

Silver Floss Naturally Fermented Shredded Sauerkraut — 2 lb bag $2.97 (9.3¢/oz)

A surprisingly inexpensive fermented option if you want probiotic-rich condiment or sandwich topping.

Chef Boyardee Beefaroni — 7.5 oz bowl $1.00 (was $1.34)

A classic low-cost microwave meal that’s on rollback — handy for quick lunches.

HORMEL SQUARE TABLE Meatloaf with Tomato Sauce — 15 oz tray $9.47 (63.1¢/oz)

A refrigerated entrée showing up in ads this cycle — check the unit price if feeding multiple people; per-ounce cost is useful for comparison.

Campbell’s Chunky Soup and Great Value Mayonnaise

• Campbell’s Chunky (Chicken Broccoli Cheese and other varieties) appears among best sellers this week.
• Great Value mayonnaise (15 fl oz) is listed in weekly circulars — a staple to pair with the discounted cabbage and sandwich makings.

Shopping notes and local tips

• Ads are generally updated weekly — Kroger and Meijer ads both run Wednesday–Tuesday, so midweek shopping often nets the freshest circular deals.
• If you’re after bulk savings, check Costco CP Grocery specials before they end Sunday.
• Menards’ 11% rebate can lower the effective cost of small appliances or prep tools if you plan a kitchen refresh alongside grocery stocking.
• Compare per-ounce or per-pound prices (many circular lines include unit pricing) to spot the true bargains — the meatloaf and sauerkraut examples show why unit pricing matters.

Final thoughts

This week favors fresh summer produce — yellow squash, grape tomatoes, and cabbage — plus solid pantry rollback items like Chef Boyardee and sauerkraut. Kroger’s bacon deal (about $4/lb) and seasonal green-bean prices make quick summer meals affordable. Keep an eye on ad end dates — Wednesday–Tuesday cycles for Kroger and Meijer and weekend deadlines at Costco — to time your trips for the best clearance and stock choices.
