I’ve noticed my grocery bill creeping up again. It’s very annoying. It really ramped up when they opened a new healthy organic grocery store near us last year. The produce was so nice I found myself trying every veggie on the block.
But!
This has become annoying. I’ve been making sure to be very diligent about cutting coupons and trying to buy items on sale but it’s not budging much yet.
This also means I need to be much more diligent about using what I have on hand. I’m very good for filling up a pantry and then still buying items when I have stuff in the pantry. Irritates my husband. Yes I have lived some places in my childhood where food was very difficult to get and this stays with you.
I’m also staring a spring garden where before I usually only dealt with summer veggies. Since I’m new at this I’m expecting minimal results but it’s still nice to know what we are capable of.
And I do detest shopping around. I don’t like driving to begin with so going from store to store does not make me happy. Then gas prices made our car gas bill almost double. Another reason to stick to my guns about shopping at only 2 stores…unless the deal is just unbelievable.
So what do you do to keep grocery prices down? Especially when it comes to dealing with special diets (food allergies etc.)
