These are San Francisco-Bay area stores, so you will need to similar markets for your region. First stop, a warehouse market designed for small cafe and restaurant owners that have good prices on volume purchases on just about everything(e.g. Smart n Final). Second, low-end grocery chain markets for cat food, kitty litter, again, I look at the discount shelves first and volume purchases (Lucky's, Safeway). Third, Whole Foods or Bread Circus for East Coasters, for good buys on hormone free, organic, free-range poultry, meats; organic fruits and vegetables, specialty bulk-grains like spelt,granola, nuts. More analysis ensures I make the most of my nutrition and dollar. As a single lady on a not wasting foods, staying within a budget, keeping my variety interesting, striving for high levels of nutrition, eating fresh foods for freshness because of taste and satiety are ALL really important to me. I get bored easily with eating my own cooking, and like most people, can find myself lured away to take-out or cafes. I plan and prepare two days of meals in advance and stick with it. When I sense myself getting bored, I force myself to write up with something totally new with the ingredients I have on hand. I buy fresh produce twice a week. I hope these are helpful solutions for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930225493796906549.post-46809231171928886112012-02-26T12:36:22.891-06:002012-02-26T12:36:22.891-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930225493796906549.post-42213128930603132942012-01-23T19:11:39.438-06:002012-01-23T19:11:39.438-06:00Thank you so much for this list!

I've also found it's good to have a bi-weekly list for things like milk, eggs, salad, etc., and a monthly list for things that won't go bad (or at least won't go bad as quickly).Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797568345510218583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930225493796906549.post-7339184465102864862011-04-03T18:53:37.988-05:002011-04-03T18:53:37.988-05:00I grocery shop once a month, too!
