Hi, {{first__name | reader}},
My goal for Stumptown Savings has always been bigger than just a newsletter — it's about building a real community. Lately, I've been thinking about how we could supercharge our collective saving power and help each other out even more.
Imagine a dedicated, private space where you could:
Instantly share a flash sale you just spotted at a local store.
Find a few neighbors to go in on a bulk purchase with.
Get an immediate answer to a cooking or substitution question.
It would be our real-time hub for saving money, sharing wins, and making frugal living easier, together. I'm ready to build this space for us (most likely on a platform like Discord), but I won't do it without you. Let me know what you think in the poll below.

What We’re Cooking
Grocery shopping is overwhelming without a plan for how to use those groceries. Each week, I offer a few ideas of affordable, flavorful meals you can cook using that week’s grocery deals. If you end up cooking one, let me know!
This week, whole chickens are on sale at several stores, making it the perfect opportunity to prepare a classic one-pan Sunday dinner. Roasting a whole chicken and vegetables together in the same pan allows their flavors to meld beautifully. Consider adding potatoes, onions, and acorn or butternut squash for a delightful twist on traditional vegetable pairings.
Apples are a quintessential fall fruit, and this recipe makes the most of the week's specials on pork chops and local apples. Serve it with a side salad or sautéed greens for a complete and balanced meal.
Uwajimaya is celebrating 97 years in business with great deals on various ingredients to make a fun Japanese hot pot dish known as Sukiyaki. The tender, sliced beef simmers in a broth with cabbage, mushrooms, and noodles for a one-pot meal that’s full of flavor.
Events
October in the Portland metro area is brimming with nearly 100 food and drink events! Whether you're looking for farmers' markets, fall festivals, cooking classes, or chef-curated meals, there's something for every taste.
