That habit might make for a higher grocery bill but IMO the benefits outweigh that. I am rarely sick. I also eat next to no meals out- I find most restaurant food mediocre unless it's something I don't make like the red curry I had yesterday for lunch! This year I am eliminating all ice cream from my grocery budget. If I want any, I'll have to buy one serving at a frozen yogurt store. I already eliminated peanut butter- those two are red light foods for me. They call my name when I have them in the house. There also will be no junk food in my house, even when my kids are home. They will have to use their own money to purchase it and dispose of it when they leave. I'm giving up diet soda too! Now that will be a sacrifice LOL.NANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809533152358579455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-80752659535727608022015-12-23T18:23:26.750-05:002015-12-23T18:23:26.750-05:00I do all that except using a price book and organi...I do all that except using a price book and organizing others. Not having a freezer is holding me back. I never turn down anything free! I do freeze and dehydrate vegetables and fruits. <br /><br />I suppose I should keep a price book, but generally know prices of produce. The one thing I would like to stock up on is Miracle Whip, but won't buy more than I can eat by the use-by date. However, if I have it on the shelf, I will eat it.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-14379309898635764692015-12-23T17:25:05.814-05:002015-12-23T17:25:05.814-05:00Great advice.

Since we are retired I like the big meal lunch then soup and sandwich at dinner. Saves me from a mountain of dishes.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03183553318309692138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-31180026449365058962015-12-23T13:44:04.818-05:002015-12-23T13:44:04.818-05:00Is that all?

I might add: Cook from scratch! So many people don't do this anymore (*your list indicates that is a given), and just because it is on your list to buy doesn't mean you buy it. What I mean is that celery was on my list and I refused to buy it as the prices had been jacked up. I waited until I found a store with a reasonable price a few days later and bought it. I buy whatever fruit is on sale, not just because we ran out of apples or oranges. I make dinner with what we have in the fridge/freezer, not whatever strikes my fancy (*hubby likes to cook whatever strikes his fancy which drives me bananas as he goes out to buy ingredients that are not on sale, fortunately he only cooks once in a while so I try and keep my mouth shut :)Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.com
