CINCINNATI — Snow is expected to hit the Tri-State this weekend, making it the perfect time to take advantage of grocery pickup and delivery deals that can save you both time and money while keeping you safe and warm at home.
I'm breaking down the best offers available right now from major retailers, so you can stock up on essentials without braving the weather.
