The new bread store is not better in pricing than the grocery stores. some things are higher. They do gove a ten percent discount for anyone 62 or older. The cheap white bread as my hubby calls it was 72 cents. I bought a package of diabetic cookies for a high price, but they are only 8 carbs. They had baby muffins for cheap. They have a rewards card.
The best thing I did see was a whole wall of beans and grains that were healthy and some that were gluten free for those that are truly in need to gluten free.. I dont have knowledge of prices , but
They do have a large selection of things.
On to Costco. I found the brown and serve sour dough that I had thought they didn't carry any more. I also got baking powder. It was 198 for a tiny can at Safeways, A huge container is a bit over six dollars. Huge difference in price. Blueberries were a reasonable price as well as bananas.
That's about it.
Groceries on the cheap is looking at the Put Dinner On The Table meal train from a different
perspective . . The 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.
