I have the same passion with the grocery store and food. I would probably grocery shop for someone else if they needed me to. It’s like a game for me. I actually feel nauseated if I do not have at least one coupon though and will forgo certain things without them. Check out the blogs that show you what you can get for the least and with what coupons like littlemissknowitall.net and cooking one’s like 5dollardinners.com.
Are you able to grow a garden like Erin (5dollardinners)? I live downtown so my garden if limited to some tomatos, peppers and a few herbs. They do not seem to be as fruitful as ones grown in the garden. Either that or it just hasn’t been as long and I expect too much.?
I have serious health problems so I have been out of work more than I have worked in the past 4 years and it’s hard but doable. Another thing that we did is when the baby was off of my milk and starting baby food, I made my own. Eventually, I simply pureed whatever meat and veggies we were eating for dinner to meet his age. Saved money and he is a great eater too.
Good luck with everything and thanks for sharing.

Another great option is a Farmers’ Market. Food is local, fresh and usually much more economical. Sometimes it’s organic as well. Take your own bags to prevent recycling plastic.
