[quote=Anonymous]+1 for Aldi. Yes, the selection is limited but I can live with that. To reduce costs and mid week trips to the supermarket: - Buy frozen vegetables and whatever fresh fruits the supermarket has on sale. - Try to keep an inventory of what's in the fridge. - I cook some things daily and some things (rice, stews) a few times a week. - Switch it up - sometimes we have breakfast for dinner. I use basic eggs and pancakes (relatively cheap grocery items). - I keep it simple - Dinner is usually no more than 4 items. - I try to empty almost all the stuff in the fridge before making a major supermarket run. - Reduce your child's snack attacks! It will save you a small fortune and they won't starve to death. I spend no more than $300 a month for a family of 3 (2 growing boys). [/quote]
