Great tip! I shop at Aldis and us Angel Food & try and plan my meals around what I know I can get for cheap from them and also around what I have, try not to ask what they want to much:) But they benefit because it saves money which is better for our family, maybe it saves enough to help us afford things or activities for my kiddos…

I have to brag on my husband for a minute. He went to the store yesterday armed with two coupons from our closest grocery store, free chicken and free bottled water with a ten dollar purchase. He spent $11 and something cents and just from looking for specials around the store he got: the chicken, bottled water, two jars of premium pasta sauce, three apples, two cans of beans, 2 lbs. of carrots, 1 1/2 lbs. of new potatoes and two 2 c. packages of shredded cheese. Great, huh?! It fed us a wonderful spaghetti dinner last night, fried chicken with green chile mashed potatoes and carrots for dinner tonight and meals and snacks still to come! Kelly

Great post! This is exactly how I shop and I know it has saved my family tons of money. Each week I always stock up on the loss leaders and plan my meals by what is already in my freezer from previous weeks.

I found out about their ministry a few months ago…it is amazing. I haven’t done it yet but actually have thought about being a location that does it for others. Everyone should check it out. thanks for mentioning it.

Have you ever heard of angelfoodministries.com? I am able to “shop” once a month, especially for my meat items, at a great price and just have to use my pantry to round out a meal. It really helps with the budgeting, too.

That really is an excellent idea – since I have been working full time the last 2 years, my attempts for frugality with mealtime have greatly weakened. I guess I thought I have more money and less time, so I should just buy what I want when I want. I realize that is not being a good steward of money, and I don’t do that in the other purchases I make. Thanks for the reminder – I will apply it this week!

I remember reading this in the Tightwad Gazette years ago and thinking “duh!!!” but I only shop this way about 50% of the time. But I know that even this much has saved me much money over the years. I am glad you reminded me1
