Hi Moms....Our local grocery stores are serious about sales this week. Safeway has free breakfast coupons and Kohl's Rewards. Save Mart will give you a free turkey when you spend $99.99 or more and Raley's is making it easy to host Thanksgiving dinner with holiday meals for every taste and price range.

Here's the skinny:

Safeway is taking a page from Raley's playbook by offering free breakfast items (eggs, bacon, OJ and English muffins) when you purchase $50 in groceries on Saturday and Sunday. Safeway also has teamed up with Kohl's from Nov. 4-8. For every $50 you spend on groceries, you get a $10 Kohl's reward card.

And there's no reason not to have turkey with prices as low as $6.77 for a frozen bird (with $20 minimum purchase).
