[quote=Anonymous]I'd shop better.  For a vegetarian, your costs seems slightly high to me.  I think you could do about 20% better by shopping sales, advance planning meals, and using coupons and shopping strategies for incidentals.

There will be people ho say coupons don't help fresh eating vegetarians ,but if you're spending that much "extra" on cat litter and toilet paper etc, that's where I'd focus couponing energy.  Clip Sunday coupons and watch sales, and get in a buying cycle (so cat litter goes on sale evey 6 weeks or so at Target - buy enough when it is on sale to last til the next sale.  Shampoo (or whatever - toilet paper, paper towels)will be on a different schedule, so while it may at first seems like you are spending more by buying two containers of cat litter, it will balance out over time.

Harris Teeter is an overall expensive grocery store-  higher prices across the board than other stores.  But, I've found that if you shop sales, it evens out.

I'd also get into Target shopping.  I just recently learned that while there is a Target Red card that is a credit card (which I did not want), there is another version that is a debit card that comes directly out of your checking account.  Plus you get 5% off.  So that is an easy, no brainer way to save 5% every time.  [/quote]
