Dollar Amount for Grocery Budget

[Guest]

I’m not convinced about the loss leaders being all that consumer savvy. I did some research this week and figured I’d have to go to 4-5 stores to take advantage of enough sales. These stores are located all over the area and no amount of planning can make a route that is going to be cost effective.

I might save a few dollars and run out a quarter tank of liquid gold in the process. Plus my time is so much worth my effort. In my area the only thing less than 3 dollars per pound is cuts of meat that I really don’t like and would hardly ever use anyway.

Most of the meat that is worth anything is 5-6 dollars per pound. If I’m going to learn to cook with cuts of meat I’d rather not have, I may as well get it all in one place while it’s being grouped with a lot of other things. Plus the church is just up the road from me.

my experiences with angel food ministries has not been good.
we did not like the freshfrozen meats, tasting very old. the prepared items were delicious but being healthful eaters they were not things we would normally eat. think about how many pounds you are getting for the cost.
august meat bundle #1 comes out to nearly $3.00 a pound.

Careful shopping and loss leaders shopping can net you really better deals than this.
