Let's talk about Sobey's

I'm not a Sobey's shopper.... yet.  I've been thinking the past few days about how I only check out the Safeway & Superstore flyers.. never Sobey's or Co-op.  I think this is for two reasons.  The first being that in my mind, Co-op & Sobey's are two of the most expensive places to shop.  Second, because they carry very few non-dairy options for my hubs.  However, my girlfriend lives in an area of the city where an IGA was converted to a Sobey's.  It is walking distance from her home, and is the most logical place for her to get her groceries (plus she probably doesn't have any strange associations to the store like I do).

I think my perception has to change.  She has been posting some Sobey deals up on my Facebook page, and I must say I'm impressed.  I did some research, and a Sobey's card is just as easy (and free) to sign up for as a Safeway card. 

Here are the awesome BOGO deals at my local Sobey's this week:

Boneless Pork Loin Chops
Breyers Icecream
Kraft Cracker Barrel Cheese
Navel Oranges
Renees Gourmet Cooking Sauce
Raisin Bread (I normally make my own bread, but for $2.99 for one loaf, and you get one free, I think I'll try their Raisin Bread out!)
Goldfish
Quaker Quick Oats
Astro Yogourt
Chicken Breast with back attached

These are just some of the awesome deals and freebies.  Now of course, some may still be cheaper elsewhere.  For instance, I bet that Goldfish are still a better deal bought at Costco.  But I don't think you can go wrong with the Pork Chops, the Chicken, the Icecream, Cheese, or Quaker Oats.

I think one more plastic card and flyer will be added to my shopping regime.
