Thanks for the validations! I would like to add though...I ALWAYS peruse the manager's meat specials. I've found that is a really easy area to save money, AND buy cuts that I wouldn't otherwise. I have three Krogers to choose from here in my city, and know when each meat counter manager marks his product down each day (most are usually between 8am and 11am). One of my favourite Mommy Shopper experience was the time I purchased nearly $125 worth of meat...for $30! It was a Friday, so I spent that weekend roasting/baking/sauteing it all. At weekend's end, I had enough prepared meats to last FIVE WEEKS. No joke. All I had to do for nearly a month was supplement our dinners with fish (a "because I told you to in my house"...hehehe)<br/><br/>Also, I keep an eye out for the markdown cart in the bakery center of my Kroger(s). I'm a baker, so I hardly ever buy baked goods but, it's always nice to have frozen goodies on hand that I hardly ever bake (schneken, cinnamon rolls, etc). The unfun mom (courtesy of my kiddies) that I am, we all split a roll...stretches it even further (and helps me keep my sanity as an unfun mom!). ;) C. Hi! Thanks for the validations!

I also go through the ad and different blogs to read through the sales, and add those to my list if chosen. Then I go through my coupons and put then into an envelope with my list. I've grown to hate going through my coupons at the store, plus it helps me stick to exactly what's on the list! I agree with the comment of making and double checking your shopping list.

With 10 chickens we were getting about a dozen every day or two. I do really good by checking with other bloggers about deals at the grocery stores I shop at.
