Dayton Deals: Can Hunger Drive

My church is having a drive for canned food this weekend for the Dayton Food Bank. I thought I would take some pictures of what I was able to find, and the prices of the items, in the event that anyone wants to buy some things for your local food banks. Food banks all over the country are in desperate need, and anything you can do to help or give is greatly appreciated.

I tried to mark all the different items on the cans below. Basically, everything was under $1 except for the Asparagus. This is the cheapest place I have found for canned goods.

I had some free money from Meijer due to the Kool-Aid deal from last week, so I decided to get a few items there. They also are running their 10 for $10, get the 11th free deal this week. So I got some of the canned fruit and some canned chicken on that deal. The Chef Boyardee stuff was also part of this deal, but when I rang it up, it scanned at $0.92 a can, instead of $1. However, at the end of the order, it took $0.92 off for my 11th item, so it is actually part of the deal. You can take advantage of that nice surprise too. And then, as the picture says, I found some Progresso soup on clearance for $0.54. It doesn't expire for a year, so I assume they just won't be carrying the flavors that are clearanced any longer. I bought them out of what they had left. And I might have to run to another store and see if there are any there as well. I wasn't planning on it, but there are also printable coupons for $1 off of 3 Progresso soups. So that would make two of them almost free.
