They just had a campaign at my daughter's school to get food in so they can do boxes at Easter.Thrifty Mom In Boisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503584246610396717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-83342394814246602532014-03-30T10:34:21.832-06:002014-03-30T10:34:21.832-06:00I swear I am at the grocery store every other day....I swear I am at the grocery store every other day. I need to set a realistic budget because I go over every single week. Yesterday I noticed that food prices are really jumping again. For a while food prices were not rising. It is truly disturbing to think about those on fixed incomes. I need to start donating to the food bank again to do my part.

You are right, you get so much more for your money doing that. I think I should have bought more artichoke hearts too. ;) We have a store called Winco and that is where I got them.Thrifty Mom In Boisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503584246610396717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-52916104963274764022014-03-28T14:24:58.792-06:002014-03-28T14:24:58.792-06:00I think you did great this month with the sales an...I think you did great this month with the sales and coupons! Wow- where in the world did you find marinated artichokes on sale for 98 cents?? I love those! I have never seen them that low. (That would have been one of my stock-up items- haha.) I like to be ahead of the game when I can as far as having groceries in the house- that way you are stocked up and can live off of it for a while if you ever have to. (And it also makes some room for some extra treats here and there.) <br />This month I got some more meat on sale. In the past I have bought beef cubes (to make beef stew) but this week I picked up a beef roast on sale and cut it up into cubes myself. For a couple of dollars more than I would have bought the already cut cubes, I got three times the amount of beef. I was happy about that. :)Dawn- Blessed Beyond Measurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380049127079259624noreply@blogger.com
