The absolute best way to save money on groceries is to buy your meats in bulk, separate pieces into whatever size your family needs and use a vacuum sealing machine before freezing the meat. While the initial outlay might be a bit hard, the savings over time will pay for the machine many times over. AND, you don't need a sealer with all kinds of bells and whistles, just a basic vacuum/sealing model will fit your needs.
Of course, you also need to combine this with using coupons, coupons and MORE coupons!!

I wish I had room for a freezer so I could follow your excellent advice. Our main way to save is to use the store coupons that print out at the register, but we also stick to our grocery list religiously, and that list was developed using the store fliers and some of the Sunday coupons. WE also buy a lot of store brands.
7:02 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
I use coupons when I shop! There have been times that I have saved any where from $15-$70 with coupons. I love, love, love coupons!!

Joyce is right about the meats... but we do veggies, etc. as well. I shop locally. I make my lists and then head to Family Dollar, Swanson's Market and then to Sav-A-Lot. If anything is left on the list I head to Wal-Mart or Publix. I use coupons as well. I get on-line coupons and evalues from the above mentioned as well as Sam' Club. At Swanson's Market you can get 10% off on already discounted items on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Make sure you check the expiration dates. I also go to the Farmer's Market in Plant City and buy fresh frozen veggies in season in bulk and split them with family/friends. You can do the same with meats. Works for me!

I recommend buying store branded products in lieu of national branded products, buying items on sale, buying BOGO items, planning a menu then buying to that menu, using coupons, using a grocery list instead of randow aisle-to-aisle shopping andfinally, shopping at a couple of local (nearby stores) for all of these products.
8:01 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
We check the local fliers and plan our shopping around what's on sale. We buy a lot of store brands, but beware...some are not so good...live and learn.

I live in Citrus Park and my neighborhood no longer gets a Publix flyer. Do they still send them in the mail or am I forced to go online or into the store to see whats on sale? They seemed to have stopped coming in the mail this year for whatever reason.

I use all the typical tips - coupons, store brands over name brands, buying in bulk, shopping at discount stores etc. However, my best tip is to create a list and send my husband to the store. He detest shopping and comes out with only what was on the list! Something I rarely do.

We use coupons and look for Publix/Sweet Bay $5 to $10 coupons in the Sunday paper. Sometimes we even go to CVS or Walgreens if they have better deals.
P. Smith
8:29 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
I use several ways to save. Coupons from the Sunday paper are the top of the list plus I look for in store coupons and the ones from the manufactor that they stick on the items. I also compare the name brand to store brand prices and get the store brand even when I have coupons if the store brand is cheaper. Buying in bulk and always on the look out for BOGO and clearance items.. I will also look for the meat that has been marked down and freeze it till I am ready to use it.

The Dollar Tree actually has some great brands (you recognize) and are still very much fresh. The other tip is markets for fresh veggies and fruits, produce stands are great as you are helping a family here locally and they are pretty great with prices too! Coupons ALWAYS help but not every item you want comes with a coupon, so just remember to shop deals and see which store works best for you and your family.

We buy grass fed meat and dairy products, which can be very expensive in our local grocery or health food store. We buy from www.RealAndNourishing.com and pay wholesale cost and also receive a "thank you" check from them once a month. This helps to pay for more groceries! We buy our veggies through local co-op's which lowers costs and we have backyard chickens so we don't have to buy eggs!
Megan Hendricks
8:46 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
We buy in bulk from BJ's when we can, which ends up being a lot cheaper for some products. We also mainly buy fruit that's in season, which is both healthier and cheaper. Super Target has lower prices on some of the dry goods like cereals, etc. We make a lot of things from scratch, which is much cheaper than buying canned or boxed foods (plus way better for you!)

We eat completely organic, and have had to find ways to save money. We go meatless several nights a week, have a CSA where we receive the majority of our vegetables, and make homemade breads. We avoid costly prepackaged and processed foods and shop in the bulk section. We cut down portion sizes and avoid throwing away foods. I'm also always on the lookout for coupons to use.

Jay Dusek

Couponing, price shopping and BOGO area all great ways to save. However, from a time starved perspective and in meeting budget needs, the practical solution is to make a list, stick to it, shop for at least a week at a time (2 if possible). This means limiting the number of times you step into a store. Grocers are expert advertizers/retailers. They know how to part you and your money. Walk in for 1 item, walk out with a $30 - $40 grocey bill. Or, perhaps I just have no will power!
9:11 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
Tuesday's Fresh Market in Gulfport is my primary shopping source. All locally grown. Then while at the grocery I remain only in the outside aisles other than cat food and coffee - thankfully ice cream is usually on the perimeter. For the items at the grocery I watch the ads and determine which store to shop for what.I do not use coupons since major brands are usually more to begin with unless a really good deal. (Time is money so couponing has that hidden cost.)

I found if I go to the local meat and seafood market I save money. I also buy things on sale and use coupons. One place I found that I really like for buying my meats and seafood is the Land and Sea Market in Brandon.
9:26 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
Buy LOCAL and grow your own produce. Our produce bill is so low- yet we eat the most of fresh veggies and fruit. You're saving money on groceries in the short term and saving money in the long term by being healthy!

I plan my meals ahead of time, make a list, and head out to Winn-Dixie. I try to couple coupons with what I have on my list which helps too. I try to get the BOGO or the fuel perks that are all over the store. Not only are you saving on your grocery bill but you save a lot in when buying gas.

Keeping a basic selection of spices and condiments allows me to make any sauce/marinade/rub needed for a fraction of the cost of pre-made. Also keeping staple side dishes on hand (I buy when they are BOGO) means I have a variety of meal options ready to go and can use any fresh products that are on sale.

I generally search the BOGO deals at Publix and plan a weekly menu according to what's on sale then only buy what I need to make those meals. Not buying the extra snacks and packaged foods have saved us tremendously. I also buy meat in bulk and separate it, vacuum seal it, and freeze it. And of course, use coupons whenever I can!
Betsy Marx
9:46 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
I rigorously make shopping lists for each store/vendor I regularly visit--Publix, Walmart, Whole Foods, Jessica's Organic Market. I also collect coupons for healthy items [very little if any processed food] and mark the shopping list items with a "C" to remind me to use the coupon! Also love BOGO but not for stuff I'd never use or was of dubious quality! Buying some things in bulk and freezing individual serving sizes [i.e. making patties from ground meat] saves money as well as time.
9:55 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
I look at all the sales from the local stores, and circle what I want to buy. Then I match those with manufacturers coupons and/or competitors coupons as some stores will allow the use two coupons. I have several couponing web sites I check that show you the coupon match ups for the week. I get my coupons from the Sunday paper or on-line sites. When the non-perishable item is on a fantastic sale I buy enough for about 6 weeks of comsumption as the sales rotate every six weeks or so; that way we never run out of our favorite items. A home run is an item on Buy 1 get 1 free, having 2 manufacturers coupons, plus 2 competitors coupons, and getting cash back applied to your total purchase!!! My mother in law does canning, and she grows veggies in a hydroponic garden. She makes the best relish, pickles, salsa sauce, and blackberry jelly. We also have cytrus trees, we juice and freeeze in recycled plastic bottles and enjoy it for many months. Trying to beat the hight cost of consumer goods any which way we can! ☺
Kathy Jones

We check the Sunday paper inserts for sales and coupons. Also, if the generic/store brand is cheaper...buy it! Name brands aren't necessarily better!

We plant the following from the grocery store: Pineapple tops (we have two pineapples ready to pick right now from this), beets - plant one that looks like it has some greens on the top and you will basically get chard greens that you can saute, the same can be done for turnips and radish, sweet potatoes and yams both grow green leaves that you can eat in dishes where you want to add some greens (cooked) like soup or stir fry, whole peas (not split) if you can find them planted close together will give you great greens that we use in place of salad and are also used in Asia for stir fry, you can also sprout lentils and quinoa so that you reduce the carb load and increase the vitamin content! Google sprouting and you will be amazed at what you can plant. We grow anywhere from 50-90% of our veggies (depending on how much I neglect the garden).

1. Make a meal plan for each day you are shopping for, then STICK to the meal plan when shopping. This effort saves money and food waste.
2. Carry a calculator with you (or use your cell phone calculator) and add EVERY item you place in your cart to help stick to the budget and have a better idea of what you are spending.

I shop once a week and use coupons, I have my dinners layed out for the week and also go to BJ's and shop for bulk items like meats, toilet paper, etc.. I have a 16 year old son and he eats alot. It is amazing when sometimes I go to the store for just a couple of items and it is like $60.00- $80.00, I am always like wow what did I buy :(
Michael D.
10:59 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
We go for a big shopping trip once a month, with coupons from all stores to Publix (excepts all coupons). Take advantage of the BOGO's which usually save us $30-$70 a $150 shopping trip. We have also started going to John's Produce stand off Belcher where there are great deals on the vegatables and fruits that we already eat. Also trying to grow vegatables in a small garden in the backyard, but other than cherry tomatoes, not much has grown.
11:03 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
To save as much as possible I use a website (www.southernsavers.com) which gives the coupon and sale match-ups for Publix, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and many other stores. I "buy" all of my toiletries at CVS because most of the time you can them them for free or almost free with the use of coupons, sales and Extra Care Bucks. For publix I try to always use one coupon per item, so for their BOGO items you're only paying for 1 item but you can use 1 coupon per item. It's like getting 2 items for the price of half of one most of the time! In Publix I always save at least 50% of my grocery bill, but usually closer to 60-75%! It's always such a great feeling seeing how much I've saved!!

11:16 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
My neighbor and I shop bulk at Sam's & BJ's and split packages. We also use a food saver vacuum sealer to reseal split packages. This allows us to buy at bulk prices, but not be the only one paying. I shop local produce stands/markets and buy grains in bulk. Thinking split meals; one large pot of marinara sauce can be used on spaghetti one night and in lasagna later in the week.

I grow a majority of my produce at home, and only visit the store for protein sources, spices, etc.
It's very difficult to grow every single vegetable you would need to buy in a year, but you can put a huge dent in the amount you normally buy. This year I have tomatoes, three types of eggplants, okra, three types of kale, 6 types of peppers, lettuce, herbs, beets, onions, leeks, three types of cucumbers, cherry tomatoes...just to name a few :-)....all grown organic, non GMO seeds, with zero chemical pesticides used. This is truly the only way you can be sure of where your food is coming from ;-)

The biggest money waster (outside of letting the kids get everything they want) is produce. I have learned to buy only as much as I need for the next few days. Store it properly so that it doesn't rot, freeze what can be frozen, and always buy what is in season from a local farmers/produce market.

There is a natural pattern to food prices (besides up) that we take advantage of. Buy foods in season and preserve them. March is frozen food month. (why ? Because it's more expensive for grocers to store frozen food in the hot summer, so they try to reduce their inventory and prepare for the coming summer's crops/products). So stock up on whatever you typically buy frozen.
You can also track ingredient sales: I make spaghetti sauce in my canning pot, for example. I spend 2 months buying the required ingredients as they go on sale: canned tomatoes, olives, the proper spices, pepperoni, beef broth, etc. Each of those go on sale at least once every 2 months. When we use up the last package from the freezer, I wait for ground beef to go on sale, make a vat and freeze it in 2 person servings. Same with red beans, though I have to order some of the ingredients from Louisiana <g>
Experiment with what works for preserving in YOUR freezer. We used to use our seal-a-meal for everything, but found that some vegetables last just fine in a large tupperware- green beans, in particular. I just put a circle of freezer/butcher paper over the top. When freezing sauces, a chunk of butcher paper keeps the freezer bags from sticking together (I put things in quart bags and then into a gallon bag to stay more organized) I also grow herbs on the front porch. It's amazing what a little fresh can do to make frozen food taste better.

Publix is still the best for service, quality and BOGO. For many store brand products we prefer ALDI. According to our family their lasagna is better than any other brand. Dave's Produce on Countyine Road In Spring Hill is best for price and freshness.l
Laura C
1:29 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
I try to stack weekly sales, Publix coupons and manufacturer coupons at Publix. For instance, if canned beans are BOGO, you can use both a Publix and manufacturer coupon on the same items. If I find a great sale, I'll buy about 3 months worth if it's something that won't go bad.

i check the newspaper before i begin, then i write down the items that are on sale. i check the pantry to see if i need antthing that is on sale...i use what ever coupons i have to purchase them............and now i will only buy something if it on sale. and stock up with 2--4 of the item on sale. this has really worked for me....stick to a list, stick to on sale items and use coupons.....

I changed to eating Vegetarian- which is actually cheaper when you plan out your meals. I get all of my fresh produce from Bearss Groves and get the remainder of my groceries from Publix. I also use coupons for frequently purchased products.

I have stopped buying meat except for very small amounts (and even those are on sale) that are used for seasoning sometimes - Most days I use no meat and we are healthier and happier for it and besides it is much better for the environment. My husband and I have GRADUALLY been reducing our meat consumption over several years and eventually we will completely eliminate consumption of animal products. If this sounds impossible to you, consider making one day or even one meal a week meatless. It will open your eyes to all kinds of new possibilities ...

Make a list. Go to Save-a-lot.They really have improved in the last year. For items not found there I go to Sweetbay or Winn-Dixie and always read the unit price (per ounce or pound) and go for the best deal.Also keeping staples on hand such as rice,beans, cream soups and with some creativity I can almost always make something good to eat!
John Stanley
7:56 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
I shop at three stores in this order; 1) Sam's Club for bulk items 2) Walmart for the staples and 3) Publix for bogos. And of course coupons! I especially like "competitor coupons". For example, I use the $5 off Pet Supermarket coupon at Pet Smart where they have the cat food we buy on sale netting me about 40% off regular price.
8:21 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
Always shop with a list, don't deviate from it, and know how much things cost in various stores. We buy our meat, fruit, veggies, bread, and whatever else we use in bulk from Sam's Club, portion it out, and freeze the portions. We buy store brand items with few exceptions. We also buy a lot of the things from Walmart and fill in from SweetBay and Publix but they're our last resort. It might sound crazy but once we started shopping like this, we found we were saving over $100 a month just in food. We just make sure we do our shopping on the way home from someplace so it's not an extra trip.
Leah Fox

We have started a square foot garden and love it. Great for the freshest of vegetables and hands-on learning for the kids. I am amazed at how much longer those veg last! We also have three blueberry bushes (southern highbush for FL) that are really low maintenance. I also like to double casseroles and freeze one- this saves money when we are so busy and are tempted to go out, but can pull a meal out of the freezer instead. Also, egg dishes like frittatas, quiches, and omelets are inexpensive but provide lots of protein and are great vehicles for leftovers- throwing away food that has gone bad is a big money waster!

I don't disagree that Publix's is a nice store but if you don't really need 2 it is no bargain....unless you are passing it on to ECHO or a food bank. Walmart usually has the same item for a better price if you only need one. Aldi's has some good prices, especially on fruits and vegetables, you have to look it over though sometimes it is not as fresh as it could be but their milk is always $2.99. I usually buy just one of their store brand items to make sure I like it before I purchase more. It is worth a trip every couple of weeks to go to Parksdale for their fresh fruits and vegetables it is considerable cheaper than the grocery stores. Of course I use coupons, especially to try something new I haven't used before but don't get carried away and buy something just because it's a dollar off and then let it stay on the shelve. NEVER,I say NEVER go grocery shopping if you are hungry, you will buy everything in sight! Now a days, shopping is certainly a challenge to make your money stretch further. Some prepared meals might be a little easier but usually a lot more expensive when you are making something double your receipt, (spaghetti sauce, lasagna, etc.) and put half in the freezer. Also popcorn is a lot cheaper and better for you than other snacks. Try to shop healthy and smart!

We use www.truecouponing.com. It is a locally based free website (Valrico!) that highlights the weekly grocery store specials along with the coupons that go with the items that are on sale! Our family saves 50% or more now on our purchases (including drug stores like CVS and Walgreens).

to check what things are in cycle and then we stock up.

My lovely wife is the Coupon Queen of Cross Creek. She makes sure to check all the weekly ads, then plans her mission and hits up serveral stores to save our family money, which is great since I was laid off several months ago. She's found several stores that honor their competitors coupons so just because you don't have that store near you, check where you shop and you may be suprised that they take it. With sales, coupons and BOGOS, she typically pays half of what she should. It's a great feeling to have a fully loaded cart that rings up at $200 come out to less than $100. One of our greatest shopping trips was with a handfull of $1 off Pasta coupons where the store had them on BOGO. The price listed was .77 a box so they paid us back .23 for each box. We ended up getting paid back almost $5.00 to take away 20 boxes of pasta. If only stores in Tampa had Double and Triple Coupons like many of the stores featured on "Extreme Couponing", we might walk out paying nothing.
6:36 am on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
using coupons, shopping at places like sav-a-lot & being aware of BOGO offers are great ways to save at the checkout line

I have 5 children to feed so this is something I have had to make an artform of lol!
So here is what I do...
Buy meat in bulk whenever possible at a butcher shop, not walmart or sams. This gives to the local economy as well as getting very nice cuts of meat at the same or lower prices. Acropolis meat market on hwy 52 reduces cost on some things like ground chuck if you buy 10 lbs or more. (Btw, we desperately need another meat shop closer to 54!) Seperate into meal portions and freeze. Try to get a freezer (even a used one works!) because it saves ALOT of money. You can use it for more than meats, fresh fruits and veges can be bought in bulk at farmers' markets and then frozen. You can can stuff too, meat included! Its a great way to get the family involved in something most of us enjoy, eating.
Grow some of your veges in the yard or on the patio in pots (great family fun and relaxing too!) to not only have wonderful food but make it where you don't have to spend the money on it in the stores. Fresh is ALWAYS healthier than canned!
9:34 am on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
a bit more:
Hit sales at stores and use coupons and utilize "Buy one get one free" sales. Try not to "one stop shop" because it generally ups the cost of your groceries. Many times you might be getting a great deal on one thing but the cost of the other things you put in your cart counteract the savings you get. Grocery stores often have a "trend" on what they put on sale and when (Publix, SweetBay and Winn Dixie
usually has certain items on "buy one get one free" sales that happen about 1x per month every month). Watch for those "trends" and plan ahead!
Use store brands whenever possible but don't give up taste for price (example: I love La Choy soy sauce and the store brand just doesn't compare in taste and often throws off the taste of my recipes).
And finally, sometimes certain foods you use all the time can be found online much cheaper (postage included) than in the stores. These are the more exotic items you might have to drive out of the way to buy, such as coconut butter. Look for free shipping deals even though the initial price might be a little higher than one you have to pay shipping seperate. $10.00 for an item with free shipping is still cheaper than $8.50 but with $4.50 shipping costs.

Portion control. Packages of meat, chicken, pork etc. can be divided into portiions. We are a family of 3. Example we had chicken cutlets last night. I portioned the chicken and made a plate for my husband to have when he has to work the weekends. I do this all the time. My daughter and I are on a diet and we don't each large portions. I always prepare a dish or 2 for the freezer so my husband can have a good meal when he is at work instead of a tv dinner. Portion control is the key to savings.

I think it's really about planning and buying only what you really need. Buying something because it's on sale that you don't really need isn't a deal. And being flexible with your brands/generics makes a difference.
5:12 pm on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
To save on groceries I buy meat when they are BOGO and by purchasing whole chickens and cutting them into pieces. I also limit the amount of processed premade foods that I buy. To save on vegetables I purchase the special buys at ALDI each week. I also get herbs from the Temple Terrace Community Garden.

I save tons by clipping coupons from the Sunday paper. After clipping, check out the local store's ads and shop around. Look for buy 1, get 1 free deals and if you're a Winn Dixie shopper, make sure you take advantage of the bonus buys and use your fuel perks before they expire in 30 days.

Wow, thanks for all the tips. I usually plan my meals for the week around the grocery ads. I make my list and try to stick to the list. Most importantly, I do not take my kids or husband to the grocery store with me as the bill practically doubles.
9:03 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
I've found the best way to stretch my dollar is to get together with a family member or friend and do our shopping together so that we can take advantage of the BOGO deals at the three major grocery stores and also buy meat in larger packages which are cheaper and split them up. Also, some items are cheaper if you buy more of them and having someone to split the bill with while you both get the groceries you need is a great way to save.
10:04 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
It's my second job to shop economically for my family of 3 adults. I follow the sales in stores I patronize - Sweetbay, Aldi, Walmart, Publix, Sam's Club, Save-a-Lot, Big Lots. I get emails from some, pick up fliers at others, I get newsprint fliers, too. I clip coupons and freeze items, including loaves of bread. Friends and family know I do this and give me their extra coupons. I don't buy something just because I have a coupon for it, I buy brands I like, and often buy store brands. I avoid stores that are overpriced - Walgreens and CVS come to mind. Publix is in that group, but the often have valuable sales, and Publix liquors are cheaper than Sweetbays, although Walmart has great wine prices. Clearance racks are a fun bonus, especially at Sweetbay and Publix. Save-a-Lot is amazing, but I avoid foreign-made processed foods from countries that don't have the same strict purity policies found in the US, Canada and Europe. It's interesting to me that many stores buy meat from Mexico and fish from China, especially Walmart. I read labels, which is another way to get value from what I buy.

We buy our meats in bulk and separate into meal size portions. We like the BOGO in combination with coupons to really stack the savings and try to plan our meals around what's on sale or on BOGO (marinades, salad kits, etc).

I shop mainly at Publix, I use Iheartpublix.com and trulycouponing.com. I print online coupons and I also get 6 Sunday papers. I keep my pantry stocked as well as my son's apartment. I have a huge upright freezer and 2 fridges. During the summer, I buy fresh, local veggies like corn, peas, butterbeans and etc by the bushel or bushels. I buy enough to last until the next summer. I also buy seasonal fresh local produce. Every 6 months or so, I go in with a few friends on a whole organic cow that we have butchered. I have a local butcher I buy poultry from, enough for a few months at a time. By doing this, I buy less at Publix but I save a lot of money using coupons. I shop weekly for the sale items and I stock up on those, enough for a 12 week period until the sale goes on again. I buy very little processed foods. I freeze cheese, butter and etc. I have a monthly budget that includes food, toiletries, gas and etc that I try to stay within. We eat out but we prefer home cooked meals.

BOGO!!!!! Our savings tip is actually our way of helping our daughter who is a single mom, without us going broke in the process. This also is our way of helping our elderly parents! We find and buy as many BOGO items as we can. We then keep one and give the free one to them. It costs us $0 to help them and it fills their home with groceries and household items...FREE! In this economy, it's the best money saver there is! (As an alternative you could BOGO, then split the bill.)
MK Bullara
1:42 pm on Thursday, July 19, 2012
PS: Of course, this is on top of the things we already do to help ourselves.....like use coupons, shop around for deals, buy in bulk, buy generic, use a list, etc. Also helps to buy at produce at farmer's market or food stands! All about helping others in the process. ...........................................................MKBullara

We specifically look for the buy one get one free deals at Publix and stock up on those types of items when they come up. We buy bulk at Costco when we find deals and of course, catching dinner in Tampa Bay helps save on the groceries here and there!
Monique Bradbury
3:07 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
BOGO at Publix with two coupons is the best! Stack a Target coupon and a manufacturer's coupon, or a Publix coupon and a manufacturer's coupon and you save even more. We have a veggie garden also and an upright freezer so save leftovers.
Tracey Suits

Buy meats at Sam's club and freeze! Chicken breasts ate $1.77/lb! Buy generics of other groceries and when you prefer a name brand, BOGOs!
Jen Rivera
4:57 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
We buy some things in bulk at Sam's Club (like toilet paper, paper towels, etc). We primarily go to the local produce stand/farmer's market for our produce which not only saves us money but also helps the local farmers. We try to use coupons for other things we need at the regular store, and I've started going to Target for more of my regular every day grocery items because I can save 5% on top of my coupons (and it's much less hectic than going to Wal mart!).
Joanne M

Always shop with coupons! Buy at least 4 newspapers on Sundays or have your friends give you their coupons. Walmart now sells 2 sunday papers bundled together for a lower cost. check online for coupons and print in black so you dont waster your color ink. Clip all coupons even if it is for something you normally dont buy. If its something you cant use donate or give to family or friends (only do this if it is free or low cost) Organize your coupons into a binder and use baseball card pages and sort by cathegory.Check online coupon match up webites for the best deals out there. I always buy meat when it is on sale and stock up. Browse the clearance areas and the back of the stores. It will be easy to check if you have a coupon for those clearance items since your coupons are all organized in your binder. Dont be product loyal - be loyal to your bank account. Usually find better deals for paper products at Walgreeens or CVS. Watch when you shop the dollar stores - the product may look the same but actually be a smaller box for the same $$ as the grocery store. Buy One Get Ones are usually great deals at Publix - if you have the coupon its even better. Buy multiples - there is usually no limit. Dont hoard!! Watch expiration dates. I typically save $100 per week.

We set a specific budget per week and use only cash!! It forces you to realize some of the stuff we really don't need (even some of the Buy One Get One free items). When the cash is out, we don't make excuses for going over.
Stepheny Smith
8:24 am on Thursday, July 19, 2012
Wow! Tons of comments on this one! :-) I shop at Aldi, that saves me a ton.
8:40 am on Thursday, July 19, 2012
I do three things to save on groceries. First, I plan out meals for 2 week periods. I make a list under each day of what I need- then use that to make one master list. (I also skim the weekly ad to see what's on sale and try to use those items in my menu). Secondly, I keep a price list with me. I mark down how much items are at the stores I go to frequently (Publix, Target, Sanwa, MacDill AFB, etc) so that as I'm shopping, I know what's cheaper where. Finally, we live on leftovers. It doesn't cost me much more to make 3 or 4 portions instead of 2 (maybe another dollar), and those extra portions either go in the freezer or with us for lunch the next day. Cooking this way has also helped my waistline! I know I can't empty the pan, because that's tomorrow's lunch!! Hope this helps someone!

Only BOGO if you need the product. If you don't need it, stay away. Best way to save is the Target Debit Card. 5% off every purchase. $100 per week saves $5. That's $250 per year plus any coupons. Target and Walmart have much lower prices than stand alone grocery stores.
9:44 am on Thursday, July 19, 2012
Publix buy one get one free is frequent and helpful. If you want an affordable meal for one person Publix hot meals are good. The entree is so geneous it makes more than one meal and there are two sides and a bread.

Saving has become an art form in my home! :) I don't buy meat. Period. My veg comes from deals I get at Tommy's Produce, Dunedin's Green Market and Dunedin Produce on Patricia Ave. Produce at these places are usually 1/3 the price per pound than I would pay at Publix. I do get basic stuff and Aldi's (not all their items are my favorites), occasionally find deals at Save-A-Lot, cook from scratch...nothing ever pre-prepared or pre-packaged. I cook beans from dried, make my own salsa, hummus, tomato sauce, etc.
Everything else I need comes from Walmart, Sweetbay and OCCASIONALLY Publix. You can NOT beat Publix bread or iced-tea. Know what you need, know what the stores have and how much they generally charge for things. Look at the flyers and plan.
Lauren Tice
3:11 pm on Thursday, July 19, 2012
We use a lot of coupons & also get BOGO deals at Publix. We try to search for sale items and make meals out of what ingredients we already might have in our pantry :-)
Tawny Swain Castle
6:48 am on Friday, July 20, 2012
I no longer eat meat and have been trying to make my own items that would add up at the store. For example, corn and tortilla chips, hummus, dry beans and granola. Having my first garden produce greens has helped as well.
Patrick Burgess
9:05 am on Friday, July 20, 2012
You get what you pay for, so I avoid elaborate packaging, brand names, frozen foods, and food that have been trucked or shipped halfway around the world. I try to only eat in-season vegetables. They are cheaper and they taste better. I try to grow as many vegetables at home as possible. Herbs and peppers in particular are easy to grow, expensive at the store, and don't go bad if you don't eat them. Whole chickens are a bargain, and you can make a delicious broth from the bones and pate from from the livers. The cheap cuts of meat (and cheap fish) can be just as good as the expensive ones, you just have to learn how to cook them. Of course grains, rice, beans, onions, and potatoes are almost free.
Melody Urso
9:38 am on Friday, July 20, 2012
Several different ways - coupons, Dollar Store for non-perishables, local Green Market and, most importantly, I make a shopping list based on what I am doing that week. If I am going to be out at an event or traveling, I don't buy just to buy. I buy mostly what I am going to eat for that week or two and not much more.
Rebecca Wellborn
9:45 am on Friday, July 20, 2012
I shop BOGO at Publix and Winn Dixie for all items we normally use. Replenish when I don't have a back-up. I divide family pack and BOGO meat/poultry into meal portions and freeze. Use 50% off Groupons at Harr's Surf & Turf for expensive items like fresh snapper, sea scallops and lamb. All produce and cheese comes from Steve's on Alt 19 in PH who has the best selection and prices in general. Huge dollar bags of fully ripened or slightly bruised produce gets parboiled and meal portioned for the freezer. He also has some nice frozen seafood. Everything else comes from Winn Dixie, usually store brand if it is healthy, where I get points towards gas at Shell. Filled up this week and got .60 off per gallon on 15 gallons. It takes planning and time to save money, so I hope my husband reads this.

So many great ideas are expressed in the comments...I'll add my two cents too. I am a 'senior' and my memory isn't as good as it once was so I use recipes for almost anything I make. I stick to the ingredients required by the recipes when I shop and I serve us one dish meals, casseroles etc. as they are the easies to do for our dietary needs. We are vegetarian and save lots of money (and animals) by not buying meat! My husband does eat tuna which we buy in bulk at BJ's. We save by using local produce, buying only what we need and what matches the recipe. I think it goes without saying (but I will) that we love the BOGO at Publix and two for one deals. I try not to go from store to store as I find it a waste of money and time unless there is a pretty dramatic savings.
3:27 pm on Friday, July 20, 2012
I go to Winn Dixie and buy the specials that go toward Shell gasoline. I not only save on food but also 5 to 50 cents per gallon on my gas.
3:38 pm on Friday, July 20, 2012
I always purchase 10 for $10.00 stuff, two for one stuff, by one get one free stuff, or 3 for $10.00 as in sausages. Plus I save money on gasoline by shopping where I do.
3:40 pm on Friday, July 20, 2012
People ask me, "Tim what do you like to eat?" I answer them, "whatever's on sale!"

I bounce between Dunedin's Publix & Winn Dixie at the corners of Main & Keene. What ever BOGO's and other sales I can find in the grocery fliers, I get! That way I also get the gas discount from Winn Dixie and the larger inventory access at Publix. It's all about shopping for the best buys. I also support our Green Market, Co-ops and local produce markets.
Lisa Kinzey

I shop between Walmart and Sweetbay. I use coupons, but only for those items that we actually use and need. We keep a grocery list on a dry erase board all week, I make a weekly menu, add that to the list and rewrite the list on paper and take it to the stores with me, so I don't overspend. Sweetbay has a convenient grocery list with prices on their site, so I go through my list, mark the prices of items, go to Walmart first and if they are cheaper at Walmart, I buy the item(s) there. Personal care items are ALWAYS cheaper at Walmart, so they are purchased there. Sweetbay occasionally sends out coupons for $5-$10 off your grocery bill and those really come in handy at those times.

Best Sound for the Best Price
We started Acoustimac because as former musicians, audiophiles, and dedicated music lovers, we know the importance of acoustical treatment and acoustical wall panels. Just like you, we were astonished at how expensive room acoustic treatment could get. That's why we made it our mission to design the most effective acoustic panels and bass traps, made out of the best acoustic materials available. We offer the lowest prices around, without sacrificing performance and offer one of the widest variety of available fabric styles and colors in the industry.
Wide Variety and Excellent Performance.
Over 50 colors in four styles to choose from and our selection grows every year. We can even print custom digital artwork and wrap them on single panels or span them across several. You can even send us your own acoustic fabric and we'll build your own custom sound panels. So many colors and styles to choose from, and so many custom options, the possibilities are endless!
We now offer Guilford of Maine Designer Acoustic Panels.
Guilford of Maine is among the most known brand names of acoustic fabric. We offer four styles and dozens of colors, or we can special order any Guilford of Maine Fabric you need, to match your existing décor.
Acoustic Products for the most Sophisticated Listeners Acoustic panels and bass traps are the most important pieces to a perfect sounding room. Whether it is a home theater, home studio, or church, acoustical treatment plays the most important role as to how the room should sound. Without acoustic panels, the most expensive high fidelity sound system will fall short of expected performance.
Strategically placing your sound equipment in a room is simply not enough; you still need acoustic treatment in order for your space to sound its best, so your speakers can produce the quality sound they were meant to produce. You could have your room acoustically treated by a local company, (which would cost thousands of dollars), or you can take advantage of the proven, cost effective and ready-made methods and products we offer. At acoustimac.com you can select all the fine quality acoustic materials that you need to acoustically treat any room at the lowest prices around. With our pre-made acoustic panels, bass traps, and the most popular acoustic insulation such as Owens Corning 703, Owens Corning 705, Mineral Wool Rockwool and our new Eco Core Insulation.
Let us transform your space into a perfect sounding room. All the acoustic materials you need are right here under one roof. Whether it's for your home theater, home studio, church, or conference room, any space of any size will greatly benefit from our acoustical treatment products.
Beyond Egg Crates and Foam
Egg Crates simply don't work. Acoustic foam and foam derived products fall way short on performance when compared to Acoustimac's Bass Traps and Acoustical Panels. Our products are far superior because they are made of the highest absorption acoustical insulation cores, which is much better at low frequency absorption. Make no mistakes about it, sound absorption panels are the best way to improve the sound of your home theater or studio without spending thousands of dollars on equipment upgrades. Treating 25% to 40% of your walls is sufficient enough and most rooms can be treated for under $1000. Our noise control products are effective, aesthetically pleasant, and offer the best value in studio and home theater acoustic treatment.
Here are some of the advantages that our products present:
- Prevent standing waves
- Prevent Reverberation
- Absorb sound to prevent ringing and flutter
- Reduce Slap echoes
- Remove boominess
- Tighten up bass response
- Better midrange Better stereo imaging
- Remove acoustic interference
- Lower reverb time
Need Sound Advice on Acoustics?
If you have questions, we have answers. Send us an Email or Call us at 1-888-827-1266. Our sound engineers are available to offer you advice on how to best treat your project space. Our acoustic treatment products, panels, bass traps and soundproofing materials can work for virtually any application where noise reduction and echo absorption is needed.

UNION — A new gardening club will teach youth participants with a hands-on project.
Union County 4-H is starting a new special-interest gardening club to teach youth to prepare, plant, maintain and harvest a small vegetable garden.
"If you have ever thought you might have a green thumb, here's the chance to find out how good you are at growing a garden," said local 4-H agent Anne Brock. "This is a great way to learn where our food comes from, and what it takes to grow the food we eat."
Brock said the club will first learn how to build a cold frame, plant seeds and grow healthy plants. For a registration fee of $15 (plus a $10 4-H membership fee for youth who are not already members), participants will receive a rain gauge, a soil sample bag, a record book and one seed packet. They will also be automatically registered to participate in the statewide 4-H Small Garden Project for spring/summer.
This special-interest 4-H club will meet every other week, beginning at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, March 11 at the Clemson Extension Office meeting room. The club will continue to meet through May 20.
For more information, contact the Union County 4-H Office at (864) 427-6259, Ext. 113; email firstname.lastname@example.com.; or like "Union County 4-H" on Facebook.

Avoid Fro-Yo Nightmares
With so many frozen yogurt options it is easy to choose an unhealthy one. Fitbie gives advice on the best and worst frozen yogurts, and this year Stonyfield's Oikos Organic Greek Frozen Yogurt was named the Best Greek Frozen Yogurt (8/2012). It is considered the closest to non-frozen Greek yogurt; low in calories and sugar.
July 2012
Paula Deen Has the Right Idea
Paula Deen has embarked on a weight loss journey, and aiding her way is Stonyfield's Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt.

You Deserve the Best Frozen Yogurt!
Woman's World
Everyone deserves to indulge in decadence every once in a while. And with Stonyfield's Organic Oikos Nonfat Greek Frozen Yogurt, you can do it guilt-free. That's why editors at Woman's World magazine praise our "organic and flavorful" Oikos as their top expert-recommended frozen yogurt (June 25, 2012).

May 2012
Lab to Table
Think your diet is GMO-free? Think again. Vogue journalist Eve Conant reports on the growing prevalence of genetically engineered foods, including the shocking statistics that 94% of our soybeans and 88% of corn grown in the US are genetically modified (May 2012). Gary Hirshberg, Stonyfield's chairman and cofounder, is pioneering efforts to convince the FDA to label genetically modified organisms. Until science can tell us more about genetically engineered foods, Gary says, "American consumers shouldn't be forced to be guinea pigs in this grand experiment."
Breakfast Champions
Earning a spot on Self Magazine's 2012 Health Food Awards list, Stonyfield's Organic Low Fat Strawberry was crowned in the Fruit Yogurt category as tasting "the most natural." Indeed, our organic yogurts are free of artificial sweeteners, and all other artificial ingredients. Other winners in the "Breakfast Champions" category include healthy options for oatmeal, turkey bacon, and cream cheese.
Feeling Good
O, The Oprah Magazine
Do genetically engineered foods affect our health? The answer: no one really knows. But until we know for sure, Stonyfield's cofounder and chairman, Gary Hirshberg, believes everyone should be able to decide for themselves whether to consume genetically modified foods. Editors of O,The Oprah Magazine report on the debate over GE foods, Gary's work with Just Label It, and include a 'Buyer's Guide' recommending consumers to buy organic (May 2012).
Greek Yogurt is Getting the Deep Freeze

Packed with protein and active life cultures, Stonyfield's non-fat Frozen Organic Oikos makes the cut on Food Network Magazine's list of frozen greek yogurts (May 2012). Go ahead, indulge without the guilt; try one (or all!) of our four delicious frozen flavors: chocolate, vanilla, honey, and blueberry.
Say No to Frankenfish
Kiwi Magazine
The debate over genetically engineered foods just got fishier. Marygrace Taylor at Kiwi Magazine reports on the FDA's recent hearings to discuss the environmental risks of GE salmon (May 2012). Until the human health risks of consuming these fast-growing fish are understood, concerned families are urged to visit www.JustLabelIt.org to join the cause to label GE foods, an effort led by Stonyfield's chairman and cofounder, Gary Hirshberg.
Eat Fresh and Light
Everyone wants to shape up for the summer season, but knowing what to eat is a challenge. Thankfully, the editors at Health make it a bit easier with recommendations for fresh and light meals and snacks, including a scoop of Stonyfield's non-fat "Gotta Have Java" frozen yogurt in a sugar cone, a 150-calorie treat (May 2012).

Sweet Tooth Satisfier
Martha Stewart Living
Editors at Martha Stewart Living call Stonyfield Organic Honey Oikos a "sweet tooth satisfier" in a recent round up of "winning cups (April 2012)." They go on to say, "with the ideal amount of honey, this yogurt tastes like dessert."
Fun Food Tours
Travel Channel Online
Looking for a fun destination on a road trip? Travel writers at Travel Channel online recommend stopping by the Stonyfield factory in Londonderry, NH to "sample the yogurt, learn about the company history and its earth-friendly policies and shop for Stonyfield goodies (April 2012)". And if you're road-tripping with a small group of people, you can even call ahead to arrange a more educational experience about yogurt-making and organic farming.

text: Hi! I'm new here, and while I have never had an all-raw diet, my vegetarian/almost vegan husband and I are trying to incorporate more raw foods into our life (we have salad dinners often or just fruit for breakfast. tried RP's brownies, and they were gone in a day!). Sooo... we also want to eat more locally (live in Vancouver, BC - lots of farmers nearby, thankfully) and seasonally, but as I look through raw recipes and food suggestions, it seems really difficult to eat a raw diet that is largely seasonal and local. We don't have local avocadoes, bananas, dates, mangoes, any of that! My main concern is fats, b/c all raw vegan fats seem to be from tropical countries. Is there anyone who is attempting seasonal/local with their raw diet? Or any suggestions?

Hooksett town councilor quits to spend time with his family
John Danforth, town councilor for District 2, submitted a letter dated Tuesday to Council Chair Jim Sullivan declaring his intent "with regret" to resign his position as town councilor. The letter stated that he had become "overextended" as his "personal and professional responsibilities have grown," having a "negative impact on those affected."
The council voted at their Wednesday meeting to accept Danforth's resignation, effective at midnight that evening. An interim councilor will be appointed at the council's next meeting Feb. 27. The appointee will hold the office until a replacement can be elected in May, with the next term beginning on July 1.
Danforth has indicated his willingness to serve as this appointee. His term would have expired June 30, 2014.
Much of Danforth's decision to resign has to do with his involvement with his sons' Cub Scout packs. With several leaders and "key players" in the pack having their sons "aging out" of the program, producing "challenges" and leadership gaps for the pack, the choice appeared to him as one between family and government.
"Something just had to go," he said. "You don't choose something such as a town council seat over your family."
"Scouting is a big part of our life and our family. Both of our sons are scouts, and when it came down to making a decision of what I would have to give up to have things on an even keel, it was basically 'Do I choose town council, or do I choose scouting?' Seeing that both of my young boys are in scouting, it didn't seem appropriate to pick the council over that. In a sense, I would be choosing town government over my family, and in a sense that didn't seem appropriate."
Danforth said he made the choice to resign earlier in the week, but had been weighing the pros and cons over the last several months.
He said he will probably run for a position in town government again sometime in the future.
Danforth is proud of several accomplishments on the council, chief among them the recently negotiated contract between the town and its relatively young union.
"We have successfully negotiated an agreement between the town union and the town, that both sounds are comfortable with," he said. "That's something long coming for those folks."
Danforth expressed regret for "some of the shenanigans" which occurred between the council the police commission, in particular the council's September vote of no-confidence in the commission in response to complaints of a "lack of transparency" and poor communication on the part of the commission.
"At the time, when we did that vote of no-confidence, my intention was to get the police commission to come forward and just talk a little bit about what they were doing," said Danforth. "And that just kind of blew up in our faces. We should probably have gone about it in a different way, but there's not much we can do about it now."
Anyone interested in serving as the District 2 appointee may send a letter of interest to Chairman Sullivan at 35 Main Street, Hooksett before Feb. 25.

It's one of the city's most premier office districts. East Midtown, around Grand Central Terminal, is a major job and transportation hub but an aging building stock could threaten the area's future. So now, the department of City Planning is looking at ways to help maintain its cache while bringing the area into the 21st century.
"The buildings in this area, there are about 500 of them, are very, very old," says Amanda Burden, the director of the New York City Department of Planning. "The average age is over 70 years old, much older than the premier business districts around the world."
In the last decade, there only two new medium-size office buildings have come to the area. Burden says part of the reason for the lack of development is zoning, as current zoning has significant size restrictions and creates many obstacles for developers.
A rezoning strategy is in the works that could incentivize development of a handful of state of the art office buildings and preserve the area at the same time. Basically, if owners meet certain criteria, they can be eligible to build bigger and higher.
"In order to develop in this area, there are specific requirements," Burden says. "You have to have a full avenue frontage, you have to have a minimum site size of 25,000 square feet. And then you can develop if you pay into a fund that will go to targeted improvements in Grand Central Station and/or the transformation of Vanderbilt Avenue into a great place of stature and distinction."
The boundaries for the proposal area are roughly affect areas from Fifth Avenue to Third Avenue from 39th Street to 57th Street.
Right now, the plan is still in the outreach phase. The commissioner hopes to begin the public review process next spring to have the new zoning in place by the end of next year. Even if it is, permits would not be granted until 2017 to prevent the area from competing with development at Hudson Yards and to give owners time to turn their tenant base.
Even though it may take some time, the proposal could help bring this iconic district into a new era.

This was to be the Frankenstien's Monster lab table. Buutttt I got a little risque. The photos shows the use of the Long thin party balloon as stocking. They are best applied by inserting a dowel into the balloon and rolling it up. Insert foot into rolled up balloon unroll up the leg.
I got the Wizard head at Mego Meet. The body was Mr. Cunningham. Also @ MM. The table is a construct of square hobby dowel. The bindings are Colaxial cable mounting brackets. Mego limbs seem to fit nicely inside them.

the act of agreeing non-verbally with someone with whom u share exclusive knowledge of easiness. "Being Felt": state of mind fulfilled when the peers around you agree and approve of your actions on a more than regular basis. Usually, one that is FELT must also abide to the rules of the Easiness. 2Pac is felt because he is known and loved and approved by the mainstream and his lyrics are the exclusive knowledge that is shared with the people that feel him.

Very strange band from the 1980's. Helmed by recluse Lawrence Hayward, they released a lot of albums in a relatively short period of time. Most of the songwriting credits go to Lawrence and Maurice Deebank, the lead guitarist. Their music is alternately silly and strangely appealing. While apparently they had some sort of cult following, none of said following has tried to copy their sound; on first listening the harmonies seem completely awkward, although it makes kinda more sense the third or fourth time around. Not well-remembered by today's indie kids, but nevertheless deserves a listen, if only as a curiosity... Felt was an indie band from England.
Felt is also the name for the collaboration between emcees Slug and Murs. Slug is the dude from Atmosphere. |
