As a podcast fan (I worked at City Cast), I was thrilled when Roman Mars mentioned me in the intro to the latest episode of "99% Invisible." What connects a design podcast to Portland grocery deals? I often face online backlash for my work at Stumptown Savings, partially stemming from my frequent use of the em dash (—). After a summer Reddit argument about it, "99PI" created a story on the em dash's history and use, featuring my perspective. It's a fun listen.

Speaking of fun, I’m assembling the panel for my next grocery store taste test piece, and I need your help: What should we test next? 

Now onto this week’s deals (and don’t forget to click the read online link to see deals from all 20+ Portland area stores, plus a selection of some recipes using this week’s standout deals (including super crispy baked chicken wings!).

The Flyer Drop

Some stores release their ads a little later in the week, but you can check out what they have on sale this week right here: 

What We’re Cooking

The key to crispy, fried-looking chicken wings without actually deep-frying them is drying the wings thoroughly and rubbing them with baking powder to help draw excess moisture out of the skin while roasting them at high heat. (Scott Eckersley/Unsplash)

The biggest snacking Sunday of the year has arrived, and Portland's grocery stores clearly understood the assignment. We have a rare "Grand Slam" of deals this week: cheap wings, rock-bottom avocado prices, and a massive price drop on beef tri-tip roasts. Whether you’re here for the football, the halftime show, or just the buffalo sauce, here is your game-plan for a budget-friendly Super Bowl feast.

Baked Chicken Wings 

Skip the overpriced delivery wings this year! Several stores have wings on sale this week, and with this easy technique, you can get a deep-fried crunch right in your oven. This recipe from CJ Eats uses a simple baking powder rub to achieve crispy wings without all the oil and mess. You can make 50 wings for the price of a small 10-piece order at a sports bar!

Classic Guacamole & Loaded Nachos 

This week's "Value Play" is a nacho lover's dream! Avocados and tortilla chips are on sale at almost every store. Grab some freshly shredded cheese to complete the foundation for a massive nacho mountain. To avoid the dreaded "sad naked chips" at the bottom, try this expert technique from New York Times Cooking.

White Chicken Chili 

For a "main event" that stays warm in the slow cooker all afternoon, this recipe is a masterpiece. It leverages the week's best protein deal: jumbo chicken breasts for $1.28/lb at WinCo. It’s hearty, bright, and a nice break from the usual red-sauce and red-meat chilis. Top it with plenty of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime to cut through the richness of the game-day snacks.

Tri-Tip in the Oven

If you want to impress the crowd without standing over a grill in the rain, grab the USDA Choice tri-tip roasts at Fred Meyer ($5.99/lb). This cut is famous for its rich flavor and tender texture. Roast it in the oven, let it rest, and slice it thin for the most incredible steak sliders you’ve ever had, or add it to your nachos for a high-class touch.

Roasted Gochujang Cabbage 

This cabbage dish is anything but bland. With cabbage and gochujang both on sale this week, this dish costs pennies per serving. It’s spicy, savory, and hearty enough to work as a main. It’s also a perfect vegan-friendly option that doesn't feel like an afterthought.

As always, if you cook any of these recipes (or whip up a different dish) let us know by replying to this email, in the comments on this article, or by tagging us on Instagram or TikTok at @StumptownSavings.

Events

Searching for affordable weekend plans? Starting tomorrow, the Portland Light Festival returns for two weeks, featuring dozens of unique light-based public art installations across the city. In my opinion, this is an underrated annual event each February. This week also offers two indoor farmers markets: the Troutdale Farm Market and the Woodlawn Farmers Market. Additionally, you can check out a chili oil making class, an African film celebration, $1 Day at Franz Bakery Outlets, and other events. We've compiled a great list of options so you can find something fun to do without spending too much.

Happy saving!
