[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 707343, member: 6705"] Since I began canning 2 years ago, I don't go to the grocery store nearly as often. It also dropped drastically when Pat moved out. Right now Belle, Wyatt & Charlie are living with us (temporary fix LOL) and they do most of the grocery shopping anyway. They are BAD about impulse buys and expensive things. For instance, frozen Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls and pizza rolls... But no milk. However, all that said, I go about every two weeks. I do some couponing, but not a lot. Milk, eggs, produce, cheese are staples - plus cheap frozen dinners for my lunch (and Bill's too). Once a month we go to Sam's Club and get meat and yogurt. I adore fresh veggies and will stock up and can what I am able to - but some things, like broccoli, just don't lend themselves to canning. Those, I buy frozen, store brand. We have a Fresh Thyme near us and I get super cheap green beans, apples, etc. so we always have something I can "put up". This is how I keep it from going bad. I eat a LOT of oranges and apples, Bill likes pears and plums and grapes, and Rose loves bananas. Fortunately, all of those are actually pretty cheap. Bill is BAD about impulse buys - of everything, not just groceries. We finally just decided either I go, or we go together... He only rarely goes to the store anymore. [/QUOTE]
