I was in a long check out line yesterday because only one person was working. Someone behind me asked the cashier if she had any help and she said, "just my manager but she's in the back working on something else." The person behind me said, "God Bless you for working because nobody else seems to want to. We've got that idiot, Biden in office so now I have to buy my groceries here to afford to eat. We need Trump back and everyone's afraid to say it. Well, I'm not afraid, I'm saying it to you all!"

Every week my husband and I check online the local grocery stores to see who has the fresh meats on special; chicken breasts, wings, hamburger meat, pork loin, pork butt, large peel/eat shrimp and deli meats. We had Food Lion chicken breasts special 2 weeks ago at $1.88lb, we went and bought 6 packs at 5-6 breast per pack.
When we got home I put the breasts in individual zip lock bags and they all went in the freezer. That's roughly 3 weeks of chicken for a family of four. (I usually thaw & filet the breasts, so two/three breasts per meal)
I admit, I shop at Dollar Tree for pantry items; cake mixes, brownie/cookie mixes, pickles, coffee, tea bags, drink mixes, canned veggies, ketchup/mustard, jams and sometimes bread. It's hit or miss, but most items are much less than the grocery store prices.
It's all about paying attention to the ads. It's also about doing the math on price per unit. I did the math on buying from a club store versus buying from local grocery stores and discovered that I save nearly my entire membership in just one monthly purchase at the club store, meaning that I get 11 additional months of savings.
I'm always baffled by people who don't pay attention to grocery ads or don't do the math on prices. I once stopped a woman from paying 12¢/egg when she could get the same eggs for 8¢ each! She asked me if I was math genius. I told her you don't have to be to get a good deal!
Right! We have free membership at one of the club stores through my husband's employer. Plus Delaware has no sales tax! We go every couple of months and stock up. We even shop online then p/u in the designated parking spaces. That way we're not overspending. But you must have a secondary freezer to stock up on the bulk meats, etc.
