Although I'm not able to take advantage of the deals you list, they still provide me an interesting insight into how food prices vary based on regional availability. For example, the avocado deals you often list just slay me (5 to 10 for a dollar?). Here in Raleigh, on a deep discount for very ripe avocados, you might get away with 2 for $2.
Take care,

Are HEB deals store specific? Peaches were $.99/lb at the Far West HEB (but Cantaloupe were $1/ea, and they had "reduced for quick sale" packs of Central Market organic mixed greens for $1/ea (1 lb package).
Hmm...the price on peaches came from this week's H-E-B sale circular for Austin area stores. Let me check up on that.
Double-checked the circular and peaches are supposed to be .67/lb. from 5/26 through 6/1 for all Austin stores. I know Allandale HEB has them. Anyway, thanks for the tip on cantaloupe and RFQS organic greens. Them's good deals!
Okay, Greg, I bought corn on your recommendation this week and dig this -- it had corn fungus. The much-prized Mexican corn fungus. Were I smarter and stronger, I wouldn't have immediately given it my sister-in-law to cook. But I'm not, so I did.
Ech. Sorry your Whole Foods corn purchase was a bit wholer than bargained for.
