Hi Moms. I don't have to tell you that we're heading into August. Soon, the kids will be back to school, but it's still going to be summer. And we're still going to shop with summer in mind - cooking on the BBQ, eating corn on the cob and having ice cream outside on the patio.

The biggest news this week is the Kellogg's promotion at Raley's and Save Mart. Here's the deal: buy 10 boxes of Kellogg's products, fill out the rebate form and include the register receipt and UPC symbols and get $10 back. Spend $20 now, get $10 later. Not bad.

Besides the cereal offer, Raley's has a good deal on boneless tri-tip roast - $2.49lb if you buy in bulk. If you're having a group over, check out the Pack O' Patties for $1.77lb. It's 80% lean ground beef, too. Need eggs? Get a dozen large for 99-cents. Coca-Cola or Dr. Pepper is 88 cents in the 2-liter bottle when you buy four. And a case of Crystal Geyser spring water is $3.50.

A package of Gallo Salame is $4.99; oven roasted turkey breast is $4.99lb in the deli and fresh chicken strips are $5.99lb. Buy three packs of Pasta Roni or Rice-A-Roni and get $3 off a Rotisserie chicken in the deli. Get a free can of Bumble Bee tuna when you buy a jar of Best Foods Easy Out mayo and get $2 off when you buy Smucker's preserves and Laura Scudder's peanut butter.

If you like plums and apricots, there's a fruit just for you: Pluots and they are $1.77lb this week,. Also in produce, green bell pepper is 99-cents a pound; Iceberg lettuce is 99-cents a head and watermelon is 27-cents a pound.

Aim or Peposent toothpaste is 88-cents.

At Save Mart, you can score that same Kellogg's promotion but each box is a penny cheaper than Raley's. There's a great summer meal right on the cover of the Save Mart ad: fresh pork spareibs for $1.17lb; sweet white corn on the cob 5/$1 and whole seedless watermelon for $2.97 each. Tomatoes on the vine are 77-cents a pound and avocados are $1 each. Time to make salsa!

Also in produce, large green bell peppers are 3/99-cents; cherries are $1.99lb; artichokes are 2/$1 and Bartlett pears are 99-cents a pound.

Sunnyside Farms boneless, skinless chicken breasts are $1.99lb in the max pak; fresh ground beef patties are $1.99lb and Foster Farms sliced deli lunchmeat is $2.50 in the reuseable container. Sunny Select paper towels are 79-cents each.

Save Mart has a Mix & Match sale going again this week. The 10 items for $10 include Foster Farms franks; Fuze drinks; Classic bath tissue; and Sunny Select fabric softener or Sun dish soap. You can get that same tuna deal: buy Best Foods mayo and get a can of Bumble Bee for free. Sunny Select drinking water is $2.99 a case; Mission tortilla chips are $1.50 a bag and a 12-pack of Dew or Pepsi is $2.99.

Having friends over but you don't feel like cooking? Get two rotisserie chickens for $10 when you shop on the weekend.

Boneless, skinless breasts or combo pack chicken is $1.99lb; Extra large cooked shrimp are $7.99lb and Ball Park beef franks are BOGO. Safeway has again cut the price of a case of its Refreshe drinking water to $2.99. Dreyer's ice cream is $2.29 and Post Honey Bunches of Oats is $1.49 a box.
