(Of course, it could have been $50 a *week* originally... I'm fuzzy on details like that.)<BR/><BR/>She shopped at different stores depending on prices, watched sales, and bought in bulk. We don't buy in bulk yet, and I can't plan my... or Darren's, rather... shopping piecemeal to catch sales. (Some people can, but I can't.) And I consider a few extra dollars worth saving the hassle of driving to two or three different stores.<BR/><BR/>At least she didn't proclaim the virtues of clipping coupons. I absolutely can't make that work. I never find coupons for anything we need that isn't already cheaper if I buy generic.<BR/><BR/>As you might gather, our grocery bill is higher than it could be, but pretty consistent, and we're not really willing to do much else to cut it. :)<BR/><BR/>-- SJthe Joneseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854341910963353734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831804.post-1152273306298599262006-07-07T04:55:00.000-07:002006-07-07T04:55:00.000-07:00Even with Aldi's $50 a month is impressive.

Maybe I should get the book.<BR/><BR/>Of course, if they're more than a few years old you have to factor in inflation, which also makes a difference. And a lot of money-saving grocery approaches don't seem to allow for as much protein as we need.Queen of Carrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03193758647591339890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831804.post-1152242962292571612006-07-06T20:29:00.000-07:002006-07-06T20:29:00.000-07:00I love Aldi's.

It turned out to be not so helpful, since the author's great grocery bill depended heavily on the fact that she had an Aldi's to shop at.<BR/><BR/>-- SJthe Joneseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854341910963353734noreply@blogger.com
