      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 Angel

      Food Ministries located near here that I go to

      occassionally. I generally shop loss leaders. Our

      Kroger always has something 10/$10. Last month, it

      was 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 by

      whole 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 further

      if 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 thinks

      he 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 as

      much 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. I

      have 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
