Bashas Weekly Ads & Flyers

In a state filled with massive national chains like Kroger (Fry’s) and Safeway, Bashas’ stands out by focusing on "Arizona First."

The Legendary Scratch Bakery: If you ask an Arizona local why they shop at Bashas’, they will likely say "the donuts." Bashas’ is one of the few grocery stores that still maintains a traditional scratch bakery. Their donuts, custom cakes, and fresh breads are widely considered the best in the state.

Local Arizona Produce: Bashas’ has long-standing relationships with Arizona farmers. During the growing season, you will find more locally grown citrus, greens, and vegetables here than at almost any other major chain.

Family-Owned Spirit: Despite being acquired by Raley’s in 2021, Bashas’ has maintained its family-oriented culture. They are known for exceptional customer service and for supporting local schools and charities through their "Shop & Give" programs.

Insider Secrets for Shopping at Bashas'

The "Personal Thank You" (Digital Coupons)

• Bashas’ uses a loyalty program called "Thank You."
• The Insider Tip: Many of the best deals in the Weekly Ad are "Digital Only." To get these prices, you must clip them in the Bashas' app or website before you checkout. Look for the "Personal Thank You" tags in the flyer for deals tailored specifically to your shopping habits.

Senior Discount Wednesday

• Arizona has a large retiree population, and Bashas’ has the best program for them.
• The Insider Tip: Every first Wednesday of the month, Bashas’ offers a Senior Discount (typically 10% off for shoppers 55+). The Weekly Ad for that week usually includes massive "Stock Up" deals to coincide with the senior discount day.

"Buy 10, Save $5" (Mega Sales)

• Periodically, the Bashas' Weekly Ad will feature a "Mega Sale."
• The Insider Tip: You can mix and match participating items. Even if you don't need 10 boxes of cereal, you can buy 2 cereals, 4 yogurts, and 4 snacks to hit the discount. These sales offer the lowest unit price on pantry staples all year.
• What Products are Truly Discounted at Bashas'?
• When you open the Bashas' flyer, focus your attention on these "Best-in-Class" sale categories:
• Bakery Dozens: Keep an eye out for "Donut Friday" or weekend specials where they offer a full dozen scratch-made donuts for a fraction of the regular price.
• USDA Choice Beef: Bashas' takes great pride in its meat department. Their sales on USDA Choice steaks and roasts are often superior to the national chains in both price and quality.
• Seasonal Arizona Citrus: In the winter and spring, look for bulk bags of Arizona-grown lemons, limes, and oranges at rock-bottom prices.

What Types of Products Will You Find at Bashas'?

Bashas' is a full-service traditional supermarket, but it leans heavily into "Fresh & Local." While you will find all the national brands (Coke, Kraft, General Mills), the real reason people shop here is for what happens at the edges of the store:

The Scratch-Made Bakery: This is the crown jewel. Unlike many stores that bake "frozen dough," Bashas' maintains a traditional scratch bakery. You will find fresh-baked donuts, artisan breads, and custom-decorated cakes that taste like they came from a high-end local bakery.

Premium Butcher Block: Bashas' is famous for its meat quality. They feature USDA Choice Beef and have real butchers on-site who can provide custom cuts. Their marinated meats (like Carne Asada or pollo asado) are a staple for Arizona weekend BBQs.

Arizona Grown Produce: Because of their deep roots in the state, they have first-access to local Arizona farms. This means fresher citrus, melons, and leafy greens during the Arizona growing seasons.

Health & Wellness (Natural Choices): Many locations have an extensive "Natural Choices" department, offering organic, gluten-free, and holistic health products that rival specialty health food stores.

What Makes Bashas' Different From Other Arizona Markets?

In a crowded market with giants like Fry's (Kroger) and Safeway, Bashas' holds its own by being "Arizona's Kitchen." Here is why locals choose it:

The "Hometown" Loyalty

• Bashas' is one of the few remaining major chains that started in Arizona. For many families, shopping at Bashas' is a tradition that spans generations. They aren't just a store; they are a community partner that supports local schools and charities through their Shop & Give programs.

The Donut Culture

• It sounds simple, but it is a massive differentiator. Bashas' donuts are legendary in Arizona. They are often voted "Best in the State," and many locals will drive past two other grocery stores just to get a dozen fresh Bashas' donuts on a Friday morning.

Specialized "Tribal" Stores

• One of the most unique aspects of Bashas' is its commitment to Arizona's Native American communities. They operate stores on Navajo, Apache, and Tohono O'odham lands. These specific locations carry unique products—like specialty flours for frybread and traditional blue corn meal—that you won't find at a standard Safeway or Walmart.

A "Boutique" Feel at Supermarket Prices

• Bashas' stores are generally designed to be smaller and easier to navigate than the "mega-stores" of their competitors. You get a boutique, neighborhood-market feel where the employees often know the regular customers by name, but you still get the aggressive discounts found in the Weekly Ad.
• The Bashas' "Fresh Secret" (What to Buy)
• If you are looking at the Weekly Ad right now, here are the three things you should always buy at Bashas' when they are on sale:
• Bakery Items:
• Donuts, bolillos (Mexican rolls), and their famous "Pink Box" pastries.
• Custom Meat Cuts:
• If the flyer shows a sale on Ribeye or T-Bone steaks, buy them here. The quality and trimming are typically superior to the larger national chains.
• Local Arizona Citrus:
• When lemons, limes, or grapefruits are in season (Winter/Spring), Bashas' prices and freshness are unbeatable.
