I'm glad that happens to other people too. And I most certainly can't send DH there by himself, that's usually big trouble.
I've learned to be VERY disciplined when going into Sams or BJ's b/c otherwise, you are right....you'll come out w/ everything else but what you need--LOL. We try to go every two weeks and stay stocked up. W/ prices going up dramatcially, so has our food costs. We can go to Club stores and stock up as it's much cheaper for us to buy in bulk. We're a family of 9 and try to spend around $1000 for food. Used to be 800 before it all went through the roof. Gosh, last year green peppers were around .50. Now they are between .85 and 1.00. It's nuts. Used to go to a bread outlet but now there are none. We get our bread at Big Lots for $1.10 for Natures' Own bread. If anyone else can tell me where to find cheaper bread, by all means, PLEASE let me know. We go through 30 to 40 loaves of bread per month. Adds up. Also any hints on starting a garden send them my way as we are going to start that next month. Stephanie--mom to 7
Lowe's has got their store brand bread on sale, not sure if it's white bread or wheat. I think it's 79 cents?? Might be good to throw in the freezer for emergencies. I agree that everything seems to be going through the roof. Do you coupon at all? I got some really great deals during HT triples last week. But I'm not trying to feed as many as you, that is for sure.
I went to Lowe's Foods last night and got me some cheap milk and some cheap Freschetta pizza's. Thanks for the tip on that!!
how is that freschetta pizza? i never can find a good frozen pizza, is that what that is? even dijourno don't seem that great to me.
