Simply learn how to shop. I shop the same area as Barefootsies... You know what I do? when hamburger is like $4 a pound I won't buy it!

I just bought 6 1lb packages of boneless skinless chicken breast for $1.69 a lb!

I don't pay that $.69+ a lb for bananas, I buy the kind with the red ribbon around it that is actually ripened for $.25 and I don't have to wait for them to be ready to eat!

Any variant of hamburger don't pay over $2.49 a lb for!

Pay that $1.5 for a sunday sales paper dude... I used to have a subscription for like $.6/wk for sunday only. Buy whats on sale and have a good freezer that when things are on sale you can buy a months supply of it.

Even by time I cookup the 1lb of chicken I bought last night I'm $2 into it then pick your side dish and it adds like $1. that's $3 and a fairly healthy meal. Go to mcdonalds? even sticking with the dollar menu and no drinks we hit $5 (Large fry to split + 3 double cheeseburgers)

Milk? Aldies had it $1.99 a gallon last week

Dude I even go to save-a-lot frequently. Over near best buy on the south side of the street there's a nice D&W that place has the best sales. I've bought a ton of NICE looking sirloin steaks $1.99/lb from them so many times. You can even have them slice custom cuts for you when you want them 2" thick. Obviously there's some better places for meats BUT nothing compares to those sales. Walmart and meijer have GARBAGE meat.
Funny stuff nig.

Glad you have all the time in the world to do all these things hoss..

I am a busy guy. So I grab what I need, and want, from the stores I frequent that are convenient for me. I do not have time to nickel and dime to save $25.00. Nor was that my complaint.

I was simply pointing out the difference in the bottom line when I shopped one way with junk, versus healthy with a lot of healthy choice, fruits, and veggies.
