Also the only way for me to really buckle down at the store and really shop is WITHOUT kids. They do not put in unwanted items, I'm just too distracted to comparison shop! And please, do not ever send my husband to buy groceries.....we would go broke!!Jane In The Junglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08936518391049202659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389312643810792511.post-81161704968073696142009-08-16T02:52:04.435-05:002009-08-16T02:52:04.435-05:00Hi Rebecca.

Luckily for me, I've always been a very thrifty shopper, so I haven't had to change too many of my shopping habits.<br /><br />I have noticed that groceries seem to have doubled in the last year and THAT is scary. I also know I buy too much prepackaged food. it saves me money in the long run though, as when I cook it from scratch, most of it ends up in the trash can. lol (seriously)My ADHD Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355981755069167730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389312643810792511.post-38906195626111421712009-08-15T23:31:35.182-05:002009-08-15T23:31:35.182-05:00Love your tips Rebecca...also, try to find out whe...Love your tips Rebecca...also, try to find out when your store "closes out" items...example...My Kroger has GREAT deals on "old" bread....they close it out every Friday and Saturday am...I spend like $10 and get a MONTHS of bread and buns!Cathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764033129088197503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389312643810792511.post-18976936254679618602009-08-14T19:43:50.019-05:002009-08-14T19:43:50.019-05:00I appreciated this Rebecca.

I was pleased to discover that I do some of these automatically. :)<br /><br />Another thing that can really help save both time and $ is to make several large meals and freeze them for to be eaten in the next few weeks. You will be able to save by purchasing in bulk and this is a good replacement for convenience packaging.<br /><br />I too crave a more simple life.Ediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154092288646304188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389312643810792511.post-55567515977992463062009-08-14T13:26:19.909-05:002009-08-14T13:26:19.909-05:00Wow, these were great ideas Rebecca!
