I saw a lady take competitor's sale circulars to Wal-Mart and they honored every price.

Before long you will be eating well on the cheap.<br /><br />The way I like to do it is, check the grocery store weekly specials flyer, buy the cheapest meat and vegetables off the front page (the loss-leaders) and plan my menu from there. With practice, you can have a full-course meal for a dollar or two a plate.Rob Stricklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228806950111807338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246558210261863420.post-42849405742135215642010-01-28T10:59:25.263-06:002010-01-28T10:59:25.263-06:00This is how I shop too.

It's working pretty well so far. <br /><br />@Heather: I don't go every day. It's more like three times a week. It's on my way and doesn't take more than five minutes. Special trips to buy tons of groceries and spending an hour annoys me more.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573262524755768643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246558210261863420.post-512941777276107992010-01-27T01:30:01.887-06:002010-01-27T01:30:01.887-06:00Sounds like it is a great plan, so far.

I don't think I could do it, the temptation would be too great to grab something not on the list.<br /><br />Good luck and eat hearty!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16979939882187985994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246558210261863420.post-36538489816250553132010-01-27T01:11:50.780-06:002010-01-27T01:11:50.780-06:00Don't buy on special offer that which you woul...Don't buy on special offer that which you would not buy anyway, and that day.

Sounds like it's just a matter of doing it.<br />Cooking has always been a challenge for me - choosing, planning, trying to satisfy everybody's tastebuds, etc. I actually have some old Taste of Home magazine cookbooks - I think I'll dig them up! I need constant motivation.<br />Keep it up!Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.com
