BONUS Bargain Meals of the Week - Albertson's - sales cycle 02/11 - 02/17/09

Erin over at $5 Dinners was kind enough to allow me to post bargain meals of the week for two of my local grocery stores - Fry's and Safeway. But, we also have a few others stores in our local area. And, as I was making my own personal shopping lists this week, I noticed a few quick and easy meal combinations at another local grocer - Albertson's! This post may not be as thorough as my other two stores, but I felt someone else out there might still appreciate the few quick meals my mind noticed while perusing this ad.
