[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this whole thread is about nothing. OP should learn to shop better - look for sales, stock up on items when on sale, be more flexible with items you get. [/quote]

My husband was surprised that I walk around with prices in my head and that I won't overpay for yogurt or jam or lettuce at a certain store when I know the price is better at another store. Prices are on average better at Lidl so he goes shopping there without fear of overcharging. I keep an eye out for specials at other places.  My receipts at Safeway average 45-55% savings because I never buy full priced items there [/quote]

Same. we don’t have any [b]obscure speciality items[/b] that we buy so everything is common enough so that they are on sale at one of the chain grocery stores at any given time. I just base our meals around what’s on sale for the week. But realistically I have always done that-even though we have plenty of money and good jobs I hate waste and I hate spending money thoughtlessly. And I grew up in a house that was the same. I’m fine not buying stacey’s pita chips and only getting certain other snacks when on sale so that we can live an overall comfortable life and my kids can go to college debt free. If the worst thing they can say is they never got to have pita chips-that’s fine by me.[/quote]

Thank your lucky stars you are healthy enough to not need a specialty diet or have a kid with severe allergies and have to buy specific foods for trialing, allergen exposure, or using specific brands that actually follow GMP and allergen labeling practices. [/quote]
