Sometimes my mom buys a bulk product with a neighbor and they split it in half. Now that my dad is in the nursing home and my mom and I are running two separate households, we are more prone to do this and check each other's pantry items before shopping for what either of us already has.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071016583187622819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-24976840438943017102013-01-17T12:20:58.595-08:002013-01-17T12:20:58.595-08:00They are all great tips, Dani!

I've taken to shopping at Target where the prices are cheaper and now I have the red card so I get an additional 5% off each bill. Then they give me special coupons from time to time to save $10 or get a free pizza or whatnot. Way cheaper than the grocery store.<br />LizLiz @ Quirky Vistashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619479131117781394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-57267872625174917482013-01-14T10:41:57.130-08:002013-01-14T10:41:57.130-08:00Good tips!

For example, I hear of people buying milk on sale and freezing. Milk has NEVER, NEVER been on sale here. You just have to pay almost $5 for a gallon of it!

I have a thing now, that if I cook four days out of the week, the fifth day are left overs...my family does not mind left overs at all.

My husband trys to buy our meats on sale (based on store flyers) and then I shop for the side dishes. He's a better meat shopper than me and he is VERY picky about it! LOL!

Once a person starts cooking that way, it gets easier and you get faster at it. It does take some planning.<br /><br />Now that we have lost our food budget in the new payroll taxes, I'm going to have to figure out other ways to cut back.
