Great Tips!
My family is keeping a Grocery Diary this month and recording what we buy, what we what we spend and what we eat for an entire month. I’m recording all of the information (including recipes) on my website in the hopes that I can help other people save money on their grocery bill.

Related to the rotisserie chickens, when I first got out of the Army I was living pretty frugally, gathering wild scallions, berries, and such to augment whatever I had. I wasn’t counting on them, it just seemed ridiculous not to use them when they were feet from my door. I found out that the local supermarket, which was walking-distance from my house, had a hot foods section. I used to go there around 6pm and buy up their cooked porkchops. They were sold by the pound so by 6pm they were pork-jerky and I wound up with about 2 pounds for the price of one.

“Buy in bulk to save on fuel costs.”

I don’t think that this method will survive forever.

Lucy it is tough, the best thing is simply to have a budget for the week and stick to it no matter what. Then the trips will have to be cut down.

Get you, Waitrose. Ooh

This is definitely one of our downfalls – doing several small shopping trips a week (at Waitrose, so we’re not talking cheap as chips Asda or Tesco here) and just buying those little extras that we could really do without. Planning is KEY. Make a list, take the cash and stick with it. I made a resolution last year to try and keep food shopping trips to a minimum, make a list and stick with it, but it’s one of the things I really find difficult to stick to.

I looked for the contact link myself and couldn’t find it.

What I wanted to tell you guys is to get back on twitter! All you gotta do is tweet when you have a new post. I love your blog, but since you quit twitter, I’ve hardly checked. (I’m on here now because I’m cleaning out my “following.”
