Quote from flugette :
Honestly, I don't usually do a full-out grocery shopping. I pick up groceries when doing my runs, usually at either RA or Target. I go to a grocery store when they are having crazy sales, or a coupon promotion. Otherwise, I have to get our food where the deals are. Once our budget lightens up, that will be a pleasure for me, to just plan a menu, with whatever food we feel like having, and then go get it. Not go crazy, but just shop like "normal" people. nod

Whenever I do hear of great deals going on somewhere, I jump on it. I think the only area our family suffers in is fresh produce. I get all the frozen and canned that I can handle, its just the fresh stuff we don't get a lot of. I worry about my kids suffering because of it, but then I remember myself growing up, and our "fresh" produce was apples and oranges. Literally. Sometimes bananas. Of course, my mom canned and froze alot of stuff from her garden, as well.

Anyway, all that to say that if a deal isn't pennies or a money-maker, its hard to find the time to make it there. And Giant has been sorely lacking in those areas lately.
i always plan our menu around what is on sale, what's in the frig and pantry. i only try new recipes if i already have some of the ingredients already. then i usually accumulate most of the rest of the ingredients as they go on sale. sometimes i forget what recipe i'm accumulating for cuz it can take too long.

i very rarely pay full price for anything. frozen and canned can be just as nutritious as fresh. just have to be careful of the sodium. i rinse my free libby's corn b4 cooking and i don't buy any of the frozen veggies w/ sauce unless i just want to try it.

do you have any produce stores in your area? around here they call them farmers markets but they are just giant produce stands that also sell imported groceries and cold cuts. they can be much cheaper than the supermarket.

also asian and latin supermarkets can be be fairly inexpensive for produce. don't know exactly where you are but there are h marts in fairfax, falls church and annandale. there is a great wall in falls church. lettuce, broccoli, mushrooms, peppers, onions, potatoes, garlic, apples, oranges, cantaloupe, raspberries, grapes, etc are all usually cheaper than the supermarket. i go there when there isn't much inexpensive at the supermarket. no supertarget here and expanded grocery is unreliable and not always good quality.

Why am I a magnet for jackass cashiers? Had the biggest bitch in the world at Kohls today who kept rolling her eyes at my coupon and my MC. She kept saying, it's one per customer. I said yes, I know, I'm only using one and my mom is using one and they are individually coded, so there should be no problem. Then she asked her manager who said it was fine as long as I was only using one, but damnit if that cashier wasn't still giving me the evil eye. Her last words to me? 'You've used this, so stop it already'. My last words? 'Prove it' Big Grin

And you know what? I was buying toys to donate to Toys for Tots, so screw her.

OMG

You mean that isn't what everyone here does?!?!?! EEK!

Roll

LOL, I just thought the above is what all couponers did Teehee I kind of enjoy the sporadic-ness of making a meal from what we have instead of the other way around. And I've gotten better at planning for things I know we will want though so when I do see even a mediocre deal I can pick it up. A family can only eat so much TGIF Wink
Glad to know I'm not the only one! I, too, have gotten better at buying things that aren't necessarily free or whatever. Its just frustrating at times to find a new recipe and realize I have just about zero of the ingredients. laugh out loud

Nice!!! Do you sell your pet food on craigslist or where? I looked on CL and couldn't find any listed. I have lots to sell, but don't want to break any rules.

And slowtech, thanks for all your suggestions. I agree that the "expanded grocery" is highly unreliable when it comes to produce. I looked at their strawberries today, and half the tubs there had molded/yucky berries in them. I'll go across the street to Wegmans and pay the same price for yummy, healthy berries, thank you very much.

Awesome!! I don't quite have 100 cans, but I think I probably have enough to get rid of them fairly quickly.

I love Wegmans, too. If money was no issue, I would shop there all the time. I love the atmosphere, the selection, the prices, everything. Compared to the other stores in our area, Wegmans is head and shoulders above the competition.

I am so excited - got my sisters lined up to watch the kiddos tomorrow night, so hubby and I are going on a date of - CIRCUIT SHOPPING!!! He was so excited when I told him ... NOT! Rofl2 I have 4 hours to hit up as many Targets and Kohls as I can. And I am not liking the rumors I am reading on the deals thread, so I am going to try to make hay while the sun shines, so to speak!

What sucks is that it's only this cashier that is a pain- everyone else is nice and/or could care less about who uses coupons.

Hallmark Q finally used successfully today Big Grin Bought myself the cutest Peanuts mug with Linus and Snoopy on it. The little stuff makes me happy.

Must get to Hallmark and check out their mugs. With all this Keurig I've been drinking lately, I have realized my mug selection is quite dull. Must fix!!

Oh my....that is incredible in many ways....shows your shopping skills and you generosity! Smilie

Thought I would ask here first...anybody have any halls bogo or extra bogo coupons? I have lots of hefty bogo to trade. I need some variety in my life! laugh out loud

I know I don't post a lot, but I do want to take this opportunity to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all! Hope Target has made it a good one for you and your kids. hug
