[quote=Anonymous]$300 a week for a family of 4 doesn't sound like that much particulaly if you eat most meals at home and pack lunches and include paper goods and cleaning supplies. Some basic strategies to save money without changing the quality of foods: -when items you eat regularly go on sale, buy enough for 6 weeks (obv not for foods that will go off) -look at sale flyers and plan at least a couple weekly meals around what is on sale -buy at least some of your groceries from a limited assortment grocery store like Aldi (Pricerite in my area) -I go to a butcher for meat, which allows me to get high quality meat at a lower price than I would pay for high quality meat at a grocery store This takes more time than just going to one store and getting what you need, so whether it works for you will depend on your priorities. I'm fortunate to have a regular grocery, discount grocery, butcher, and h-mart type grocery within a half mile radius.[/quote]
