Stay warm, Akron! With another winter storm heading our way, I have been glued to the weather radar and the grocery ads. Living in Northeast Ohio, we know that when the forecast says “Big Storm,” it’s time to stock the pantry and get the slow cooker ready! It is currently below zero in Akron, and with more snow on the way this weekend, I’ve scouted the best grocery deals to help you make hearty, warm meals without breaking the bank.

5 Cozy Comfort Food Recipes to Survive the Winter Storm
I’ve matched this week’s best sales at Acme Fresh Market, Marc’s, and Giant Eagle with some of my favorite comfort food recipes from AkronOhioMoms.com and Acme Stores. Here are my top 5 picks to keep your family warm and full while the snow piles up!
1. Hearty Tuscan Beef Soup
There is nothing like a steaming bowl of beef soup when it’s freezing outside. This week, Meijer has a fantastic sale on Certified Angus Beef Chuck Roast (BOGO 1/2 off), which is the star of this recipe. It’s a “set it and forget it” meal that makes the whole house smell like a warm hug!

2. Slow Cooker Pork and Sauerkraut
This is a classic Akron tradition, especially during the cold winter months! This recipe uses apples and kraut to create a sweet and savory meal that is incredibly filling. Grab your Pork for just $1.79/lb and your apples for $1.99 a bag at Aldi and Vlasic Sauerkraut 2/$6 at Acme Fresh Market.

3. Brioche Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup
Is there anything more comforting than a gooey grilled cheese? My secret is using buttery Brioche bread and Miceli’s Shredded Cheese, which is 2 for $4.00 at Marc’s right now. Pair it with Campbell’s Tomato Soup (on sale for 4/$5 at Marc’s) for the ultimate snow-day lunch.

4. Creamy Broccoli Cheese Vegetable Soup
This is my go-to “sneaky veggie” recipe for the kids. It’s packed with vegetables. It feels like a gourmet café soup but costs a fraction of the price, especially with the cheese deals at Marc’s this week.
Featured Sale: Broccoli Crowns (Aldi), Carrots (Acme), Miceli’s Cheese (Marc’s)

5.Easy Healthy Ramen Chicken
If you are looking for something hot and steaming to combat the “Below Zero” temperatures in Akron, this is it! It’s a much healthier (and tastier!) upgrade to the instant noodles we all remember. This recipe is the perfect way to use the 3.5 lb fresh Chicken Breasts at $2/lb at Giant Eagle this week. We love it because it’s high in protein and uses fresh ingredients like the fresh carrots we found on sale at Acme Fresh Market. It’s basically a hug in a bowl!
Featured Sale: Boneless Chicken Breasts (Giant Eagle), Carrots (Acme).
