Can you save money and eat healthy items? You sure can. After inadvertently dropping the Healthy Deals post, we’re bringing it back!

The best way to save on healthy foods is to shop the sales and buy products in season. We aren’t doctors, we aren’t nutritionalists, we can just spot a good deal – and we want to put all the produce and veggies prices in one place for you!

Fred Meyer sales run from Sunday – Saturday, Albertsons, QFC and Safeway run from Wednesday – Tuesday. We put up new Winco and Costco deals occasionally but since there aren’t weekly ads, some prices may change.
