Grocery prices

[koolcraftlady]

Well it sounds like meat prices are going up again.  The reason if due to the drough the United States is suffering from.  I am sure that everyone will see that not only meat will go up, but almost sure everything will.  If meat goes up very much, quess I won't be buying much.  It is almost out of reach for me now, not sure how I will purchase meat if it goes much higher.

you can go to the store when the prices are lowest; one day a week flyers are in your local newspaper.
unfortunatetly, Nestle, Pepsi and one other big company are selling bottled water in the stores. where does  the water come from? our reservoirs. what can be done?  people can stop buying bottled water and filter the water instead. watch the documentary  "tapped" to verifyu what I am saying.

I have recently discovered the "Sunflower" store whose motto is: "serious food...silly prices". Their meat and veggies are really very cheap and good quality!

I wish there was a store like that where I live. We might be vegetarians someday and walking to work if gas prices don't go down.

I have found buying in bulk helps, as well as finding places like Grocery Outlet, which is a place here in San Jose, Ca I'm not sure if you can find a place like that where you live, but its worth a good healthy try. If not I've found avoiding Safeway helps, if that doesn't then get a hold of all the grocery flyers you can and buy your meats from the stores that advertise the lowest prices for there meats. This will be a weekly thing but it can work, if nothing else I've found shopping at a Mexican store works. They have good prices on meat most of the time.

I hope this helps, and good luck.

Call all the grocery stores within a radius of you and do a price comparison, where I live they have what we call a pick 5 where you can get 5 packs of meat for 19.99.  Also, check the sale circulars as soon as you get to the store for sales.

There is no doubt that some grocery prices are rediculous but I can tell a huge difference in my grocery bill since I gave of red meat and pork four months ago.  I can really say that I'm healthier and a little more wealthier!

Sunflower is great.  Are you from Colorado by chance?  there is a store called sprouts that is pretty much the same--an awesome year round farmers market.  in fact, sprouts will be merging with sunflower and all sunflowers will turn into sprouts.  I shop there mainly for veggies and fruits.  i can get a ton of stuff for the week(for a family of 3 going on 4) for $15-$20 and then get a few other items (bread, pasta, meat, etc) from stores like safeway (they have a great coupon policy).

GREEATTT!  I have been very pleased with the price of my grocery bill lately, that bums me out!  Speaking of the matter, my grocery shopping day is tomorrow...better go make my list

Everything is going up. Peanut butter is going up again too. The pay checks need to increase as well.

the prices suck. $1 for a can of veggies is ridculous

Groceries are very expensive right now. It certainly presents a challenge when trying to make ends meet.

Very sad to that groceries have gone up! I'll still buy meat, but I think I will shop more of the sales!
