What's happening this week:

It is getting near the unofficial end of summer with Labor Day a little over a week away, but I am not sure that this could be the celebration that we remember it. With schools starting sooner and sooner it seems to be just another 3 day weekend (which schools also seem to be doing a lot of these days too) but with a little more emphasis on the holiday. However you decide to celebrate, we will be ready for you!

I know we were just talking about Labor Day above, but we received a call from the our turkey supplier this week. We did already have to put in our order for Thanksgiving and we were told that we would only be seeing only 50% of what we ordered on any turkeys over 16#. This will be an industry wide issue due to the Avian Flu that happened earlier this year. What happened was once that flu was eliminated it was very late in the season so the larger birds did not have enough time to grow so there will be a HUGE shortage of larger turkeys this year. We are not yet taking any orders for turkeys but if you like to order a larger bird, start thinking about it and the beginning of October we will start with orders. Other options if we run out would be 2 smaller birds or a smaller whole bird and a breast. As we get closer you will be hearing a lot more about this from me and I would guess in the media as well.

The Meating Place:
Sale items for Casey's Market:
(Prices good in Western Springs only)
Lean Cubed Steaks
$9.98 lb.
Cod
Fillets
$16.98 lb.
As we get older we remember certain things we ate as kids. Some we remember fondly, some, not so much. Cubed Steaks (also known as minute steaks) were one of those things that mom used to make that the kids hated. Breaded steak? EEEW! Boy do I miss those days now. Turns out mom's recipe was pretty darn good we just didn't appreciate it! This week we have our Lean Cubed Steaks on sale and you can take a trip down memory lane with either doing some Cubed Steaks & Gravy or Chicken Fried Steak with yours.

Next up this week is everyone's favorite fish, Cod!! You probably don't even know that Cod is your favorite fish, do you? Ever had Fish & Chips at a bar? Cod. How about a fish sandwich at a decent restaurant? Cod. Fish tacos? Likely Cod. Fish sticks? Probably not all cod and spit that out because it may not even be fish!! This week we will have the Cod all nice and fresh for you to make your own Fish & Chips, Fish Tacos, Fish Sandwiches and even Fish Sticks
Sale items for Mike's Market:
(Prices good in Villa Park only)
Beef Tenderloins
(filets or roasts)
$36.98 lb.
Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon
$18.98 lb.
These days food can be a little pricey, especially beef. This week we have a great deal on our Beef Tenderloins on both the Filets or the Whole Roasts. We are happy to have the tenderloins at this price because of what is going on with the beef market and one suggestion I can give you, if you are a tenderloin family for Christmas, get it now and freeze it! I promise it will still be great and there is a possibility you will be saving about $50 on a whole roast! With that kind of savings you can buy Brian a really nice gift this year!!

Next up this week is the Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon. The season is winding down on the wild salmons coming out of Alaska because things are going to start freezing over soon and the spawning in the rivers is just about over. After the Alaskan season is over there are other options for us to source wild salmon but it is usually VERY expensive and the quality is mediocre at best so if you like some wild salmon in your diet, grab some this week to save a few bucks. Also, the Sockeye does freeze very well so if you want to stock up for the winter like a bear, this would be the week!
The Deli Doings:
Sale items for Casey's Market:
(Prices good in Western Springs only)
Boar's Head
Sweet Slice Ham
$8.98 lb.
Boar's Head
American Cheese
$7.39 lb.
Creamy
Mac & Cheese
$5.49 lb.
I love our Mac & Cheese! That is all I have to say about the sale item this week. I mean, really, we have it on sale pretty regularly and how many superlatives can there be to describe the flavor of Mac & Cheese? I already use the word DELICIOUS more than I use commas!
Sale items for Mike's Market:
(Prices good in Villa Park only)
Boar's Head
Beef Bologna
$8.69 lb.
Boar's Head
Cojack
$8.89 lb.
Imported Bacon
$8.98 lb.
I have always been a meat eater. It's in my blood. I have had a few friends go the vegetarian or vegan route (we don't talk any more). I would never be able to go that route for one reason, and one reason only: BACON!! This may be the world's most perfect food that can be eaten as breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack or even desert (don't knock chocolate covered bacon until you try it) and this week we have our wonderful Imported Bacon on sale in the deli. This bacon is imported from Hungary and is smoked to perfection. The only complaint that I have ever heard about this bacon is that it is so much leaner than the pre-packaged store bought bacons that there isn't enough fat. That kind of complaint is OK with me!
This week's words to live by:
In honor of Mike's having the Beef Bologna on sale for the first time I thought of this quote.:

Bologna is a deli meat for people with eyes.
