First a note of explanation. No one ever accused me of being a perfectionist. I write this blog on a reader. I have big fingers and automatic spellcheck. I try to proof this blog, but typos always seem to get past me. I'm sorry if I offend people that think everything should be perfect cause, I'm not.

That's about it, not much, but what there is is really good.
There are lots of cereal coupons out there, you should be able to score a buck net.
Groceries on the cheap is looking at the Put Dinner On The Table meal train from a different
persopective. 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.
