Yesterday’s Haul made me go over budget by 5.49. And, I am picking up a case of hamburger tomorrow. I suspect I will not have to buy a lot of anything but perishables the rest of the month. Buying groceries when they are at the optimum price makes you sometimes have to invest and go over budget for. A week. Fortunately, the food is an investment and it will allow us to eat better for less the rest of the coming months. Its all about averaging.
Last night I made chicken wings. We hadn’t had chicken wings for ever because they used to be ten a pound. Then they became popular for ball game fare and the price went up substantially.
That’s ridiculous, they are all bone. I paid the same amount for boneless, skinless chicken breast and I got the chicken for a dollar a pound. It is all local chicken .
Groceries on the Cheap is not about depriving yourself of good food. We have good quality food and we have real, not fake food. We just pay 💰 the smallest amount we can for the food. Buy buying food at its optimum price and adapting to a simpler grid, we eat better for less.
Simplify, pay less, and always have food in the house. Its a winning concept.
By picking cuts of meat that are versatile, you don’t get bored and you still have a limited number of bins in the freezer. Organizing an upright freezer by using baskets from the DT is a good thing to do. You know where everything is and you can tell at a glance what things you need to put on a watch for a sale list.
Its always a good thing when you are not forced to go to the store. Going at your leisure means you can go with a clear mind and the fortitude to avoid the impulse buy traps. LOL.
Please share. I am still trying to grow the channel.
