[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 228886, member: 84"] I don't know how to find old posts like that either. But the ideas there were great. I just bought 2 family paks of pork chops out of the manager's bin at krogers for only 3.95 each. They went right into the freezer. I don't normally buy the chops because they've gotten so expensive lately. I pay close attention to the price of meat. I was going to buy 2 beef blade roasts as they're normally the cheapest. (and I make more than one meal from them) But last week it turned out that english cut was far cheaper, so I got a better cut of meat at a better price. (and twice as much meat) I won't even discuss our walmart prices on meat. It's outragious! And I've watched the quality go down. I've gotten awfully creative with hamburger. I'm a scrooge about lights, the thermostat, and water. We cut out unecessary trips in the car. I bought those as seen on tv draft stopper things that slide under doors. (they work great) husband weather stripped the front and back door. During the day curtains are opened to let sunlight help warm the house. I cut up my credit cards. I pay only with cash. I make bulky meals that last a couple of days. We don't do fast food anymore. husband is balking because he won't drink generic so I've put a strict limit on pop. And we roll our own cigarettes. (1/3 the cost of buying them) I shop at aldi's and buy generic. Unless I find a sale for name brand where it's cheaper. Can't just assume generic is cheaper anymore. For a longish time walmart had velveeta cheaper than their generic brand. I know they do on other foods too. Oh, and I haven't bought junk foods in over a year. Which made xmas more fun. lol [/QUOTE]
