Don’t Miss These Deals! Look for Different Canola Oil Brands for 30% Off!
Looks like distributors are moving through frozen inventory so you won’t find as many of those deals! But there are still plenty of deals out there. We want to save you the time of searching and point you towards the best deals out there this week.
We also know that you don’t always want to have to change your vendor. All of the opportunities below are from within single distributors! So here are the deals this week:
tl;dr
Fewer frozen deals, and more savings from different brands. Overall potential savings is down from the 50% range to the 30% range.
Again biggest potential savings in Produce (41%) this week, followed by Meat & Poultry (31%) and Seafood (31%).
Similar deals this week from single vendors (28%-34%) and the same large variance across vendors (26%-42%). You may find some additional savings if you have multiple vendors.
Potential Cash and Carry savings are up this week (39.7%), though still in the range of savings available from distributors...so still likely just an emergency option.
Brand

Keeping most attributes consistent, there definitely are trends in several product categories where you can find better deals with some brands than others.

Frozen
Fewer Frozen deals again this week, but they continue to be the biggest. Fresh to Frozen discounts are about double the savings of fresh vs frozen.
