Our town is small though, so we get all the ads in the mail now, and my sister sends me coupons from her paper, since we buy different things :)<br /><br />Wow, I literally go to the grocery store three or four days a week! BUT, I walk there. The major grocer is just half a mile up the road and the other smaller one (with good produce sales) is just 3/4 mile the other way. With one reusable bag slung over my shoulder, I am good to go for a little sunshine and fresh air. So each trip is only $5 to $15. Man, those reusable bags are SO much easier to carry too!Alisahttp://www.dairyfreeandfit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-81105782511262960422010-04-14T16:09:41.755-05:002010-04-14T16:09:41.755-05:00I'm sure you've already figured out I love...I'm sure you've already figured out I love grocery shopping!<br /><br />I use a lot of the same tips and tricks - especially monitoring as they ring things in, but at my store it's almost worth not correcting right then - since they do double your money back if something's bad or rung in wrong!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-89684744686524187322010-04-14T13:15:33.047-05:002010-04-14T13:15:33.047-05:00Wow, I thought I was organized, you put me to sham...Wow, I thought I was organized, you put me to shame!<br /><br />It is so much more rewarding to plan ahead like that so you know exactly what you are getting, and you know what you have.<br /><br />If I lapse and go to the store without a list, I always buy too much, or I buy something I already have, and I hate when that happens!Jenn@slim-shoppinhttp://www.slim-shoppin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-76396751869702089642010-04-14T12:19:40.578-05:002010-04-14T12:19:40.578-05:00Thanks for reading guys! :) I'm glad you liked...Thanks for reading guys! :) I'm glad you liked it, I was worried it might bore everybody. <br /><br />I don't envy you Sophia and Diva - walking w/ groceries is hard work! When we went to DC I was having a blast souvenior shopping in the grocery store. Then I realized at the counter when I was handed my bags that I don't have a car, I needed to WALK them back to the hotel room - about 4 blocks away. That was HARD work and I only had 4 or 5 bags!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170704307873703753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-6505349367118244322010-04-14T12:10:00.675-05:002010-04-14T12:10:00.675-05:00Yep - you and I pretty much shop the same way - ex...Yep - you and I pretty much shop the same way - except that I am a once a week shopper :D<br /><br />Hope you are enjoying this weather!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-31940036383032865582010-04-14T11:39:31.089-05:002010-04-14T11:39:31.089-05:00Hi Christina!!

I love your tips and am glad that there's someone who can trump my own grocery saving skills so I can learn a few things all at once! 1 hour is not THAT Much time considering how much you save...in fact, I actually enjoy scouring the grocery store flyers we get for products i might want to stock up on. hahahah <br /><br />I also grocery shop at a low frequency. It really helps to save money and makes trips way more productive when you go! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-35598355393719983332010-04-14T10:34:48.543-05:002010-04-14T10:34:48.543-05:00I really like this!

I like seeing how other people go through the process, too. My kitchen floor looks like a bomb went off after I get home from shopping because I spread everything out in piles, too, as I'm organizing it to be put away.live pura vidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16649945410663651900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-76757231978227352092010-04-14T10:33:33.344-05:002010-04-14T10:33:33.344-05:00Wow, you've got this grocery shopping thing do...Wow, you've got this grocery shopping thing down, Christina! You put me to shame. I'm a terrible, haphazard shopper. I often shop every day, just picking up what I need for dinner that night. Its a habit I got into years ago, because I've only ever shopped/cooked for 2. <br /><br />I walk to all of the stores I frequent, grocery, produce, butcher shop, because they're all in my 'hood. I try to use the reuseable bags as much as possible, though sometimes I forget. <br /><br />Its not really practical for me to do a big monthly shop, both because I have to carry everything home myself and because we both have so many evening commitments that we can be out of the house two or three nights a row in any given week. <br /><br />My daily shopping gig works for us, but I don't recommend it for all!The Diva on a Diethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336939733516236525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-63480636084940178322010-04-14T07:56:49.132-05:002010-04-14T07:56:49.132-05:00I'm glad you enjoyed my post about this, and I...I'm glad you enjoyed my post about this, and I enjoyed reading yours!<br /><br />I also set out everything when I get home and place them in "categories" pantry, fridge, freezer, etc...I'm a little ocd!Ally's Sweet and Savory Eatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05386545618716236858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-51026422194127564922010-04-14T06:57:07.320-05:002010-04-14T06:57:07.320-05:00wow, nice work! ha, I love how true it is that we...wow, nice work! ha, I love how true it is that we share that extra money might be used on food not clothes! :)Simply Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16492661388892873640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-49129108301122390092010-04-13T23:33:59.761-05:002010-04-13T23:33:59.761-05:00Wow, great tips.

I have to walk a mile to get to the better store, so I can't bring a lot with me at once. Thus, every day! It's a good way to stretch my legs though!sophiahttp://burpandslurp.comnoreply@blogger.com
