Disclosure first: I built the free site linked at the end, no signup and no ads, and this post is mostly data.

Park Slope is the one neighborhood where a lot of people do their real shopping at the Food Coop, so a circular roundup feels a little beside the point. But if you are not doing a Coop shift this week, or you just want to know where the regular supermarkets are cheap right now, I read every Park Slope store's weekly ad each morning and this is what they are leading with.

A timing note: the C-Town, Foodtown, and Stop & Shop ads below run through tonight (Thursday 7/16) and flip to a new week tomorrow, while the Lidl and Whole Foods ads are the current 7/15 to 7/21 week.

Lidl (120 5th Ave), week of 7/15 to 7/21:

• Tomatoes on the vine, $1.49
• Bellarom ground coffee, $4.79

Whole Foods (214 3rd St), week of 7/15 to 7/21 (Prime price in parentheses):

• Strawberries, 16 oz, 2 for $7.78 ($7 for 2 with Prime)
• Yellow peaches, $2.77/lb ($2.49/lb with Prime)
• Large Hass avocados, 2 for $5.56 ($5 for 2 with Prime)

C-Town (329 9th St), through tonight 7/16:

• Seedless watermelon, quarter cuts, 79 cents
• Slicing tomatoes, $1.49
• Yellow nectarines and southern peaches, $1.49
• Red seedless grapes, $3.99

Foodtown (409 5th Ave), through tonight 7/16:

• Land O Lakes cage free large white eggs, $3.49
• La Yogurt, 10 for $8 (80 cents each)
• Land O Lakes whipped butter, $2.99

Stop & Shop (Atlantic Terminal, 625 Atlantic Ave), through tonight 7/16:

• Red seedless grapes, $2.69
• Tomatoes on the vine, $1.88
• 90% lean ground beef, $5.99/lb

A couple of head to head notes: on tomatoes on the vine, Lidl ($1.49, and good through next Monday) beats Stop & Shop ($1.88). On red seedless grapes, Stop & Shop ($2.69) beats C-Town ($3.99), but both of those ads end tonight.

Hi everyone! I’ve spent a lot of time debating if I should post this and finally figured why not. After struggling in this job market for the past two years, I started baking and leaning into something I love doing. 

After enough encouragement from my wonderful friends, I started my own little cookie company focusing on made-to-order, small batch brown butter cookies and treats! Perfect for gatherings, housewarmings, cookie exchanges, or just to snack on! I've been eating these cookies for 2 months straight and still not tired for them for what it's worth! It’s honestly been a lot of fun learning how to run a business, marketing, experimenting, and I’m grateful for this experience. I’m hoping to pop into farmers markets/street marks/cafe pop-ups one day! If anyone in the community is interested and would like to try, I’m currently baking:

-Brown Butter Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies

-Brown Butter Matcha White Chocolate Cookies

-Brown Butter Rice Krispies Treats

If you’re interested, please reach out and give me a follow @ brownbutterclub. nyc on instagram! I batch bake and deliver drops on Fridays in and around Crown Heights and do custom orders on any days with 48hr lead time :) Thanks for reading!!
