On a positive note...

with Stoney gone, my grocery bill for the week is about $30! Okay so it is inevitable that I will have to run back to the store later this week for something! Not sure what but it never fails! But for now, the girls and I are living CHEAPLY! I am learning the ropes of buying stuff while it's on sale. Not just a regular sale but a REALLY good sale. I only buy what I can use so it won't go bad either! I planned my meals this week around what I already had in the cupboards. We save on meat since we bought a beef and lamb. Now I don't clip coupons even though I probably should! I stick with the sales! I do buy in bulk when I can. I also will buy the store brand on a lot of items. There are some that I want the name brand stuff, but a lot of times, I'm getting store brand! Now I'm curious what does everyone else do to save money at the grocery store? Leave a comment with ONE favorite way to save at the store. Leave as many comments as you want but try not to repeat others.

Build a pantry with $10 a shopping trip... If you see frozen corn on sale for .75 (let me know dammit) then buy 10 of them...
Another thing to do: make your own bread. Oh, and make your own baked beans!

I buy meat in bulk when on sale and seperate it then freeze it. I don't buy a lot of junk food. I keep my pantry stocked with soups and side dishes that are bought when on sale. If there are left overs, we eat it the next day (or sometimes for a few days).
