It's been a good year, shoppers. Lots of good deals at our local grocery stores and some prices that haven't changed in a year. The Shop Cheap archives show London broil at $1.97lb at Raley's this time last year. And guess what? It's the same price this year.

So let's close out 2009 with good food, good friends and good prices.

First stop, Save Mart where you can get fresh Dungeness crab for $2.99lb. Don't want crab for New Year's? How about spiral sliced ham for $1.97lb or boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.77lb in the max pak. Standing rib roast is $4.77 a pound - if you want to splurge.

Along with that crab, there's lots of other seafood on sale. Cooked salad shrimp is $3.99lb; fresh Atlantic salamon fillets are $5.99lb and fresh Pacific oysters are 69-cents each.
