Best Buys - Week of 12/6/09

My "best buys" are: items for $1 or less, meat for $2 or less a pound, and a few other items that are at rock bottom prices. When I keep my shopping list to these items, I can bring home a ton of groceries for very little money.

I'm only include the "big stores" in this post. See Other Grocery Stores in St Louis for best buys at the smaller stores.
