Welcome back to the Stumptown Savings weekly deals roundup! We took last week off for the holiday, but we are back with the best grocery deals from more than 20 area stores.
Real talk before we dive in: Stumptown Savings is 100% independent, but it is far from sustainable. It takes 40+ hours a week to research and write this newsletter, yet currently, only 4% of readers financially support this work.
Hi, it’s me, your humble savings guru!
To ensure we can keep this going in 2026, we’ve launched an end-of-year fundraiser with a goal of raising $8,000.
If we’ve ever helped you save time or money, or helped you feel more connected to our local food system, please consider a tax-deductible donation today. Independent consumer journalism cannot exist without reader support.
Now, onto the deals!

What We’re Cooking
True Thanksgiving Leftover Enchiladas, a Stumptown Savings original. (Bryan M. Vance/Stumptown Savings)
I did it! Last Friday, I transformed our leftovers into True Thanksgiving Leftover Enchiladas. Stuffed with buttermilk-brined turkey and Hatch chile cornbread stuffing, with fresh flour tortillas dipped in mushroom and turkey gravy, they were baked until crispy and topped with cranberry sauce. They were a fun, non-traditional twist on using up the usual Thanksgiving leftovers.
This week, why not try making a weeknight-friendly version of beef biryani, a hearty vegan Greek stew, or an unusual but flavorful pairing of pasta, Greek yogurt, and caramelized onions?
Picking up a boneless pork loin this week? Try this bold, herb-packed version from NYT Cooking. Melissa Clark calls for butterflying the meat — a simple technique that helps the lean cut cook faster and stay juicy. The marinade is a vibrant paste of garlic, cumin, and an abundance of fresh herbs (basil, parsley, cilantro, and oregano), creating a savory crust that works just as well in a grill pan as it does outdoors. Serve with a side salad and some herb-roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
If you pick up the discounted ground beef but want something more exciting than burgers or tacos, try this "cheater" biryani from NYT Cooking. It’s a brilliant weeknight shortcut that uses ground meat instead of stew chunks, significantly cutting down the cooking time while still delivering deep, aromatic spice layers. The rice gets a head start in the pot before being layered with the savory beef mixture, resulting in a dish that tastes like it simmered all day. Serve with a simple cucumber and yogurt salad with some dill and vinegar for a light, crisp side.
If you bought the big tub of Greek yogurt for the beef biryani, this recipe is a great way to use the rest. It sounds unusual, but the tang of the yogurt creates a creamy, Alfredo-like sauce that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of slow-cooked onions.
Looking for a completely-plant-based meal that’s a hearty one-pot dish? Try this northern Greek dish (called Bonamatsi), a "ladera" (olive oil-based) stew that is naturally vegan and incredibly cheap. It’s essentially just potatoes and greens (you could sub a hearty green like kale for the spinach, if you’d prefer) braised in a tomato base until tender.
Events
The countdown to Christmas is on, and the bevy of Portland holiday festivals, markets and events that mark December have begun. All month long, you can see holiday lights at The Grotto, Portland International Raceway, the Oregon Zoo, and more. The Christmas Ships have already started their nightly routes. And there are dozens of markets, festivals, and classes happening this weekend. Whether you want to buy unique local gifts, learn to make a wreath, or master Spanish paella, there’s something for everyone this weekend in Portland.
