So you only spend $150 dollars for a grocery trip that's going to last you 3 weeks? HOW did you do that? Maybe it's because I have a family of 5 and 4 of them are boys and I live in a small space and don't have room to store anything, but I spend somewhere between $120-150 each week for groceries.
If you are only buying every 3 weeks, how to you go about getting the perishables like milk, eggs, bread, fruit, veggies? I'm super interested to hear how you save so much money. Teach me!
Well I have dh buy bread from a bakery that is local to where he works for about .75 a loaf and I freeze it.
2 doz eggs will last about 3 weeks here and milk I buy 2 gal and depending on the weeks can last about a week and some days I do have to go buy that again.
Fruits and vegggies...those green bags you hear about are fab... at times I do have to get more because we go through it...but not often!
I have found a great base for soups like cream of potato, brocoli cheese. tomato, squash, mushroom that I LOVE and when I make soup (often with the cold) that can last us 2 dinners and usually dh takes it for work 1 day I also make a meatless chili that lasts the same and DH LOVES these.
I have been clipping the coupons and recently trying to find coupons on line too.

I'm very impressed ... that you can cook chili.
