[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If something is unreasonable to me I simply don’t buy it and switch gears. If the cream cheese is too expensive then I don’t buy bagels and get English muffins instead. If the cereal is too expensive I just get something different for breakfast. I find the price of crackers has been outrageous lately so we’ve been eating cheaper pretzels and popcorn instead. I couldn’t find ground beef on sale last week so tacos can wait until another day and I’ll make something with the chicken I did buy.[/quote] This is what I do. I have a rough meal plan then adjust accordingly. I'm a huge red meat eater but have cut back pretty dramatically. Chicken is still pretty inexpensive, and I prefer legs anyway, which are the cheapest. I've also cut way back on anything processed or packaged. My one red line in the other direction-- what I won't stop buying-- are cage free eggs. The cruelty of cages is just too much. [/quote]
