Denver grocery prices just hit a 36-week low!

Grocery bills in Denver just got a little lighter—this week’s price check shows the lowest totals in 36 weeks, with Walmart and Safeway both dropping prices on essentials. If you’re shopping for basics like milk, bread, chicken, and eggs, Walmart continues to be the most budget-friendly option, while King Soopers has crept up in cost. Target is holding steady, but Safeway’s price cuts on meat are worth a look. It’s a great time to stack digital coupons and loyalty deals to stretch your dollars even further. How are you saving on groceries lately? #Food #Denver #GrocerySavings

Buddy’s Pizza exits West Michigan

Losing Buddy’s Pizza in West Michigan feels like the end of an era for local pizza lovers. After serving up that signature Detroit-style deep dish for years, the last Grand Rapids location is closing its doors for good. No more crispy, cheesy squares just down the road—now, you’ll have to make the trek to Metro Detroit to get your fix. It’s wild how quickly these local favorites can disappear, and it really makes you appreciate the small joys in our community.
