[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 135533, member: 47"] I do a lot of shopping at Costco/Sams club. I was thinking about getting together with some of the women in center where my office is, and seeing if anyone would want to do a share of some bulk items, especially veggies and fruits. I went to the local shop to get some lettuce, and it was 1.98 for one head - at Costco it was the same price for four. I really don't NEED 4 heads of lettuce at one time, or cabbage for that matter, or a kazillion tomatoes - or a whole hugh honking bag of onions or apples. I think buying bulk does save lots of money when you compare the price to the local shops, but its not much good if lots of it goes to waste. I can't remember last time I actually bought soda - its been replaced by the powered gatoraid, or lemonaid, or bottles of fruited water, or plain water. Rice and Pasta are on the menu more times a week than necessary. And the fridge is stocked with TV dinners now for the boys to munch on, and frozen pizza as well. I used to have some plates with covers that you could fill and freeze and microwave when you need them and have no clue whatever happened to them, and have been trying to find them in the stores with no success - I wouln't mind a day of cooking and freezing. I have been broaching the subject of actually walking back and forth to work with SO and just parking the truck a few days a week. He has his electric wheelchair so it should not be a big deal for him, its only a mile LOL but the idea of not driving there has put him into shock - I keep telling him I need the exercise (and its all up hill going there - and I know i am going to be really sweaty - good thing I don't have to deal with the general public once i get to the office) We stopped eating out almost every day but seems like its not really saving a lot of money buying groceries and cooking from home.
