Safeways has Suddenly Salad for a dollar with a coupon on the paper. There are coupons for a dollar off two. I think they may stack if you use the coupon on the paper and don't electronically out them on your card. That would make them .50. Original price is over two dollars . When You use the original flavor, you can isle olive oil on the dressing that will cut the hydrogenated fat.
Barilla pasta is also a buck today and there are coupons for pronto pasta of they have it it will make a good buy. Pasta is a good base for an inexpensive dinner. They are making a lot of pastas with extra fiber and vegetables to make it more healthy.
Vegetables are good prices at QFC. The weather here is screaming picnic food. Hopefully the children can get the deck in shape so we can eat outside. With an east facing kitchen, it gets really hot in there by dinner time. Spring is a good time . to take advantage of the fresh produce prices.
Groceries on the cheap is looking at the Put Dinner On The Table meal train from a different
perspective. Tshe emphasis is on purchasing good food( shelf- stable/ freezer staples )at the lowest possible cost and purchasing enough to last you until it goes on sale again -- Keeping a controlled non-perishable stock of the things you use on a regular basis. It means that when you shop, rather than purchasing just what you need for a day or a week, you buy a loss leader protein, produce you will
need on sale, a stock item if it's a RBP, and dairy instead. This allows you to put well balanced meals
on the table consistently for a four dollar a day budget per person. You spend more time on the
planning and shopping end of the meal train and less on the cooking end by cooking efficiently.
Four dollars a day is the target amount for people on snap. My premise is that of you can do it on four dollars a day, spending more isn't hard. You still get more bang for your buck.
