Potential buy
Buy 4 Kellogg cereals , get a gal of milk up to 300.
 I pay two dollars for a gallon of milk.  It is 250 this week at QFC
The cereal is 4/10.   Subtract 2.50 and the balance is 7.50 / 4.  Or 1.88
There are coupons out there that could bring the balance down.  The red plum that came it's the paper has a dollar off three coupon.   That makes the cereal 6.50 for four or 1.63 ea.    I like a dollar for a large box for a target price.   That isn't happening Larely.

Barilla pasta is a dollar on Friday.    There are pronto coupons out there.   There was a rumor that there was a dollar coupon in the red plum.   It wasn't on mine,   Different zip codes get different coupons,

There are a lot of weight watchers high protein cereals for a dollar at grocery outlet in Kenmore.  
Also Kraft singles for two dollars.  



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.
