I had to really look for ANY deals at Bashas' this week. While their sales may not be as great as the other stores, I have to say their customer service is OUTSTANDING! In my opinion, it far exceeds any other grocery store in the valley. Case in point - I had purchased 8 boxes of Reduced Sugar Quaker Instant Oatmeal a couple of months ago during a sale. No one in my family will eat it, so I was hoping to exchange it for the regular kind. I still had my receipts, so the assistant manager gave me cash back! She didn't treat me like a criminal (ahem Safeway) or act like I was a bother. So refreshing. So, even if they don't have the best sales, make sure you are still supporting Bashas. We want to encourage great customer service and our hometown grocery chain!

OTHER AWESOME DEALS:

1.68 Dairy Glen milk, Limit 2
This seems like a new low cost milk Safeway is carrying. I saw it for the first time last week and it was 1.68, while Lucerne milk is 2.49 - new regular price! That is up 30 cents from the 2.19 its always been. Looks like I'll be a Dairy Glen milk drinker now.

.88 strawberries, 16 oz.
That's a huge container of strawberries for 88 cents!
These are 77 cents at the Safeway on Val Vista & Southern in Mesa. If you have one of those Safeways with cheaper pricing, you'll get this price too! Thanks Anonymous!

Limit of TWO per one $10 purchase! Yay! I paid this much for a dozen eggs at Albie's on Monday!
