In Sunday's paper: After Saturday's rain, it's time for a picnic

April 24, 2015

The weekend weather is a mixed bag: Saturday rain but a lovely day in store for Sunday. With a projected high of 80 degrees, it looks like a day for a picnic.

The advertising circulars in Sunday's AJC offer everything you need for a great picnic: adult libations, soft drinks, ribs and sweet corn, steaks, lobster and chicken, plus ripe tomatoes and Vidalia onions.

The advertising circulars in Sunday's newspaper also:

  • Have a coupon value of at least $300
  • Offer food specials on items to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, which is May 5
  • Deals on bikes, baseball equipment and computers
