Fred Meyer ad

It is a bust!     Not much there. Mothers os,non,pass leader protein.   QFC is a two week ad and there were no cheap protein there either.    I am going to Winco today.   I have stocked protein big time to replenish our freezer disaster, so I'm not hurting for protein.    I, not going to buy a bulk pinto bean until we use a lot of the canned beans up.   I have a reasonable amount of raw beans to make not fried, refried beans.

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.
