Shopping.

Shopping! Most girls love it. I hate it.  I'd rather keep the money in my pocket, but you gotta eat. Until recently, I did most of my shopping at Wal~mart. Not so much any more. I've taken to shopping at Aldi and Save-A-Lot, and my weekly food bill has dropped quite a bit actually. Going to just one, or the other, I wasn't able to get every thing I needed, now, typically I can get every thing between the two.  Some times, like with deli goods, you need to go to another store. On nights when we have grilled cheese, I usually go to Publix since it is in the same shopping center as Aldi. When I do have to go, I get only what I need. Typically, it is 12 slices of cheese, for 3 grilled cheese each. If you do not know about Aldi or Save-a-lot, I suggest looking into it. Most things tend to run a LOT cheaper than Wally-world, or other supermarkets. A pound of sausage links runs $2.50-$2.80 a pound, where as it is usually over $4 at Wal~mart.  Bratwurst runs around the same price, and ground turkey is $1.49! I replace ground beef with it fairly frequently. Both of them have weekly circulars on their websites, and store locators. I also found out that Save-a-lot accepts coupons. I haven't been able to find any coupons for any thing at Aldi though. But it helps at Save-a-lot!
