Savvy Deals: A final round of freebies and bargains

For the past decade, the Savvy Shopper has been covering local grocery deals. During this time, I have greatly enjoyed working with the A-J and interacting with readers. Despite the good times, great things sometimes end and I am sorry to say that this will be the last grocery deals article published.

However, and in the spirit of saving the best for last, today’s grocery highlights include several (and I mean several!) freebies. In addition to these offers, you can get access to many more at the provided links in the online article and on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/LubbockSavvyShopper) or log on to Facebook and enter “Lubbock Savvy Shopper” in the search tool). As the Savvy Shopper Sunday deals will run through the end of this month, you can still get the best deals delivered to your news feed by "Liking" our Facebook page! In addition, you can follow us on Twitter to get updates: https://twitter.com/LbbSavvyShopper.

On top of grocery highlights, abundant opportunities to save are available:
