But it is awful how much food has gone up too. I am not one to eat leftovers probably because I have had too many as a child I guess.

I've been using one for several months now and have seen a downward trend in my weekly shopping bill. That in spite of food inflation driving the price of everything up. I wrote a piece about it on my blog. <a href="http://journeytofrugaldom.wordpress.com/2008/03/08/using-a-price-book-to-save-on-shopping//" rel="nofollow"> Using a Price Book</a> Another very effective way of saving money on shopping is to use a price book.

I keep hearing we're going to get one, but that rumor has been going around for quite a while. We have regular Walmarts, but no Super-Walmarts.

I just cannot eat leftovers more than once. This is psychological damage from having to eat too many leftovers as a child. :) If I have too many leftovers, I will waste them. Sounds bad, but it's just reality for me. Those are all great advice, however, I can’t plan with too many leftovers in mind. I just cannot eat leftovers more than once.

I spend no more than $250 a month on food, including milk served at every breakfast, and lunch. I buy fruits and veggies to serve with every meal as well. We only buy one junk food item per week each (we each get $3 to spend as we wish at food store, total $9 a week.) We eat healthy, with meat everyday, but as 1/4 of our meal. The other 3/4 is 1/4 starch, 1/2 fruit, &/or veggies. It can be a cahllenge, but following many of the tips you have given make it easier. Especially the meal planning, we do that before we shop each week. Thanks! I am a single mom with two boys and I run an in home daycare where I feed lunch and two snacks daily to two additional kids.
