There is also a program called S.H.A.R.E that I have
heard others in the more northern states mention,
sorry, I’m not sure where you are. We have an AngelFood Ministries located near here that I go to
occassionally. I generally shop loss leaders. Our
Kroger always has something 10/$10. Last month, itwas frozen veggies and salad dressings. I stocked up
on both. Also, find out what day your grocery store
does markdowns on bread, meats, etc. I can often bywhole fryers for under $2, and occasionally buy ribs
for around $5 a rack this way. They just need to be
cooked or frozen that day. Also, meat will go furtherif you chop it and cook it in either a casserole or
stir fry. For example, if I serve steak with baked
potatoes and a veggie and a salad, my fiancee thinkshe needs two whole steaks for himself. But I can chop
1-2 steaks and stir fry w/ some veggies and that feed
all three of us, usually with some leftovers. Buy asmuch of whatever you like that is on sale that week
and plan meals around that. Soon you’ll have a nice
pantry built up. I started doing this in March. Ihave not been to the grocery except for perishables
since the end of May, and still have enough left in my
pantry and freezer for another month or two.BTW, even as I was stocking up, I my grocery budget
was only $150 a month for 3 people. This includes
paper goods and dog food also.hth,
Amanda
