When the Sales End...

I realized that not everyone knows the general sale cycle of stores (AKA when this week's deals end and new ones begin). So here's the easiest way to explain it:

Grocery stores (Albertsons, Safeway, etc.) are Wed. - Tues.

All-in-one stores/Drug stores (Target, Fred Meyer, WalMart, Walgreens, Rite Aid, etc.) are Sun. - Sat.

This corresponds with when the new ads come out - you probably got grocery ads in the mail today - go check! Sunday papers are when the ads for Walgreens and Target, etc. come out because their sales have just begun.

So if you were planning to do any of the Safeway or Albertsons deals today, you're a day late!
