frustrated

I do not know if anyone has noticed but groceries are out of the roof. I went to the store this afternoon, I am one who clips coupons, plans my meals and adds as I go through the store. I only do this because I have a definite budget I need to stick with as I am sure a lot of people do. Raising 3 boys I am sure does not help matters, but to not even get out of the store under 200.00 is ridiculous. I am so frustrated that a jar of spaghetti sauce is 3.19 I used to spend 1.52 on the same jar. What is happening in our world that middle class families cannot even barely get by anymore. I do not know how people raise families during these times to have to worry about the food that we spend and forget healthy that is not an option, Produce alone is a whole paycheck. I am so mad by the whole thing. If someone has any suggestions on how to save at the store please leave a comment. Thanks for reading my blog.

you could have only one boy eat at dinner and then rotate each night!!!!

You might want to look into thegrocerygame.com

It's a pretty good deal with coupons but you have to get creative with your meals from time to time!!

not sure what store you usually shop at, but I found that WinCo has some of the best prices on a lot of items. I know they exsist in Oregon, just look 'em up online to see if they have a store close by.

I can't imagine feeding 3 growing boys!

maybe we should start a co-op garden, grow all our own veggies and make the spaghetti sauce from scratch.
