There were no ads to day,   I checked Winco at favado, but not all the information was correct.    

I did stop at Winco  on the way home from the PT.  I  did the weeks prep yesterday and found some shortfalls.   I dehydrated some radishes and some black grapes.   Chopped amd sliced carrots for the veggie with a casserole and the split pea soup.   I ran the last of the russets through the peeling machine to make French fries to oven roast.   

I also cooked five pounds of ribs and portion controlled them.   

I digress that left us with potatoes needed for the baked potatoes later on the week amd radishes for the oven roasted root veggies.  Pasley was .48 and so I bought  bunches and  put one in the dehydrator.   I bought new trays and screens for the old machine because the trays were disintegrating.  

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.
