FRUSTRATED with groceries!

This might qualify as a whine (sorry, Flylady) but I'm fed up with this!

I can't add much to what has already been said.
My only other suggestion is if you have an Aldi's near you - that is an awesome place to stock up on stuff (you do have to try and see if you like their stuff - there is some stuff I like and other stuff I don't).

Breakfasts, I make lots of extra of pancakes, french toast or waffles and freeze the left overs on a cookie sheet with parchment paper between layers until frozen, then bag then up for later. When the kids want some during the week, I just pop one or two into the toaster. Also, my kids aren't that into their cereals, they prefer yogurt for breakfast and I only buy it when the small containers are 3 or 4 for a dollar and stock up. For cereals, I buy it in bags, it is usually cheaper and you get almost twice as much for less money. I have a couple plastic containers to keep the cereal from going stale. Just last friday, I went to my local grocery store and bought Safeway's generic bagged coco puffs (called cocoa astros), 32 oz for $1.99. The kids can't tell the difference. :)
All in all, I usually spend anywhere from about $30 to $50 a week in food, at most, for a family of 4. Now if I could do as well on gas then I'd be happy!
