Wow! It's truly amazing how much money you can save if you take the trouble of comparing websites and flyers. My partner and I have lived in a small village for over twelve years now. Initially, I bought most of our groceries in the small village supermarket. We had two important reasons. One, we felt - and still do - it is important to support your local shops, so the village won't lose its amenities. Two, I could do all my shopping by bicycle. My partner would cycle to the nearest town every other week to the organic supermarket.
Gradually, the local shop had fewer and fewer groceries that we use. So I had to go to a supermarket in town more often. Then I discovered that I could easily earn back the cost of driving by car, because I was saving tens of euros on our groceries. Now I drive to town every other week.
I don't have to go more often, as we organically grow our own vegetables, most of our potatoes and part of our fruit.
thanks for reading. we always try to support our local independent stores as much as possible. in Chinatown here there are really good prices at these stores, but they don't have everything we need.
We just got back from the market and groceries are craZy high here in Alabama too. It’s just the 2 of us and 3 dogs. Think a post/blog about marketing and food tips would be good. We freeze a lot of leftovers. If I cook to muck just freeze and write on it what it is; ex: beef stew; meatloaf, spaghetti sauce; veggies and your next meal is ready when you are hungry.
Great idea. We got a small freezer for our apartment. We buy meat when it's on sale and package it up into meal size portions. We also keep our portions to much less than we used to. About 250 grams for two people.

Last for months and very cost savings.

Perfect.
