There have been a lot of great tips here!

One question for you ladies...do you buy fresh veggies or do you buy frozen or canned? That's where I spend most of my grocery $$$. We buy meat in bulk at Costco, but dh & I really love fresh veggies and that can get really expensive.

Yes, they do, Melissa - and that's where a huge chunk of our budget can go, especially if you're buying out of season, but it's still hard even if you buy in season. So yeah, we do buy frozen and canned because we have to. But I buy fresh every week and use it as much as we can. We really spend a lot in salad...buying spring mix either from the grocery store or Sams in the big containers (mesculine). It looks expensive, but it's really not, and it goes a long way. It's how we get the green veggies in us lol. But we do fresh and canned fruit all the time.

I buy both fresh & frozen organic. depends on the sale etc etc. I'm like suuuuper ridiculously anal about counting the portions of food and stuff ^_^ so I make everything last. Frozen org veggies are expensive so I have to be careful- I also stock up when they're on sale..
