I am being really cheap, buying only when on sale and limiting everything. I go look for coupons from internet and the paper. its really annoying, and it is too expensive.

what doo you do to save money

$8.00 for a gallon of Minute Maid Orange juice over here. I wait until the half gallons are about to expire and they push them out at $2.99. I've always hit the day old bread cart etc. in the store. We make some great finds with sweet rolls and stuff.
I miss the Hostess outlet near my mom and dad's place in Wisconsin. We used to get 10 fruit pies for a buck and boxes of crumb cakes for dirt cheap, probably why I need to go to the dentist again.

I always buy the bread that they bake in house rather than a name brand. Better quality at half the price, and it's fresh!

Grow some of your own food. Even if you live in an urban area you can have a small raised bed or container garden. Get chickens, lots of suburbs don't have laws restriciting them and they can live in a small area- fresh eggs are great, and far cheaper than buying them weekly. Raise rabbits- eat them.

Hunt- kill a few deer a year and you can feed yourself and others well. Make it into sausage, ground venison (you can make taco's, bugers, lasagna...anything really) out of it. Learn about edible plants and mushrooms in your area, go pick them. These few things can really cut your food bill.

My goal this year is to raise/kill at least half of what we consume. It wouldn't be hard for me and ole' lady but the kids got to have them Yoohoos, tater chips and fudge pops.

alot of the stores here(Krogers) are having really big sales. i think its to give people the incentive to shop with them.with 10 for ten values. couple that with coupons and i make out ok.

i saw porkchps for .99 pound last week.

i have wild boar in the freezer along with elk and atelope mule deer and deer so i ddint need any but it was a good deal.

Relax, The government has everything under control.....Relax, relax.

Easy for me to say, I just had 600 pounds of U.S.D.A. superfine prime moose steak walk across the yard.
