The major chains are gearing up for Labor Day weekend, Sept 1-3, with big sales. They all start Aug 22 and go thru Aug 28 (except Albertsons which ends Aug 26). That's just long enough to stock up for the inevitable holiday BBQ. With so many things on sale it's impossible to say which store has the better deals, and all our shopping lists are different. But here's a quick comparrison on some of the basics:

----------- Grapes --- Chicken breasts --- Soda
Vons $.79/lb --- $3.49/lb boneless --- 3 for 2 (no price-grr)
Albertsons $1.99/lb --- $1.49/lb for 5 lbs+ --- 4-12packs for $7
Ralphs $1.99/lb organic ---$.99/lb bone in --- 1-12 pack for $2
Wild Oats $1.99/lb organic ---$7.99/lb boneless organic --- N/A

Caveats: Need a club card for each store (not a credit line, just your name and address). Some prices for Albertsons don't start until Aug 24.
