The milk there is actually more than at Wegman's, which I find very strange. When we were in Florida milk was cheaper there than even at Wal-mart. I do try to buy my flour and sugar there because it is cheaper and we use A LOT of it. I often put it in the freezer so it will last longer; you might try that if you think it will go bad before you use all yours. I buy my eggs there too, 5 dozen at a time, because we eat a lot of them and use many in baking. I did buy my bread there, but I've begun baking my own bread because it's just so expensive to buy. We may end up buying it again one day but for now I'm making it.<BR/><BR/>I have also been trying to just go to the store once a week...if we run out of something we just have to wait, within reason. That has helped me to stick to our budget this month...but we are out of bananas, and that's driving me, well, BANANAS! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your input. I have avoided BJ's for the last couple of weeks...but I will need to go back to get chicken (it's cheaper there) and maybe a couple of other things. However, we have limited funds if we're going to stay under budget, so I'm planning to have several meatless meals this week. Keep coming back and posting...it's nice to have some activity here!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881121619059472292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131733159327187491.post-74147272202822558442008-09-11T10:34:00.000-04:002008-09-11T10:34:00.000-04:00Not sure if you have one in your area, but we buy ...Not sure if you have one in your area, but we buy a number of grocery items at Sam's Club. We drink about three gallons of milk per week and it's $1.00/gallon cheaper there than in the grocery store. I also save several dollars a week on eggs and bread at Sam's. Oh, and coffee. Also, if you are able to use it fast enough, I find the flours and sugars to be a great deal there but they do come in huge quantities.<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to be better about planning out a menu for the week and buying everything we need for those meals to avoid going back to the store every couple days when we run out of something.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302699584960333916noreply@blogger.com
