Grocery Sales Week of August 31, 2009

School's back in session for most kids and grocery stores have shifted to their last bbq sales of the season -- just in time for Labor Day.  If your stash has dwindled over the summer, consider replenishing it with items on sale now.  They aren't likely to go on sale again until Memorial Day-ish.
