It's easily over 200 when he accompanies me. We end up buying junk food and a million cans of soup so that he can have alot of soup to eat (he gets tired of soup after about 2 cans).

She watches the sale trends and then matches a coupon to it so you are getting a rock bottom deal. It has saved us mucho! When you start feeding an army, you should try it.<br>Miss you my friend!Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16750218717558334325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438013659013419081.post-306290925102423992009-03-30T06:56:00.000-05:002009-03-30T06:56:00.000-05:00Love it!

That is IMPRESSIVE!<br><br>I think it is funny that Grant can't go to the store with you. I am the one who has been banned from the grocery store. Chris has me make a list and he gets everything on it and not one other thing. I ALWAYS come home with unnecessary items!

Try to pull up Rachel Ray's show last Friday - only saw a portion but the guest was claiming to live on a "dollar" a day and was actually eating pretty darn well.

I mean really, the man won't go to HEB alone, but when we go together I can't get him outta there. He, being the ultimate cook, wants to look at EVERY "interesting" item on the shelves and pick it up to read the back...<br><br>And, recently, since I have spare time on my hands, I have decided to see what the big deal is with coupons. They are worth it. Really, they have saved us money recently...where they get you with coupons is, no one has the time/or is willing to make the time for them (understandably).<br><br>I agree-Peanut Butter cannot be generic--I'm a Jiff girl all the way!<br><br>Love you!Lulu SQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02430088059695794878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438013659013419081.post-65659383608192659202009-03-27T10:06:00.000-05:002009-03-27T10:06:00.000-05:00geez it deleted my first try!!!**Praise the name o...geez it deleted my first try!!!**<br><br>Praise the name of the Lord for VIVA paper towels!! I mean the economy may be bad, but VIVA its worth it!!!!!!! I buy the economy bag...so glad we both use VIVA!!<br><br>Girl you did rock it at the grocery store!!! Amen to generic brands :) Enjoy those chip mates Grantley!!! YUMMY ;)<br><br>I love to go to wholefoods.com and get recipes!!! Love me some whole foods!!!

I never go to the grocery store without a list<br><br>Another tip: I buy frozen chicken breasts in big bags. It's about 9 breasts for $10! The only trick is that you have to remember to defrost the chicken for dinner. <br><br>I almost always buy generic/store brand when its simple ingredients, for example...shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, sour cream meat, etc. But I usually don't buy any processed store brand items like velvetta--the HEB brand is strange! BUT, I actually buy Hunt's diced tomatoes at Sam's in 8 packs...it's only 5.88! That's cheaper than buying 8 store brand diced tomatoes! <br><br>Okay...I'm going to stop writing an entire post on your comments section! <br>You just got me excited...I'm such a dork ;)Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04872024824875332761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438013659013419081.post-64113737467811461062009-03-27T08:41:00.000-05:002009-03-27T08:41:00.000-05:00Honey I think you did GREAT!!!!
