Explain how I get my groceries cheap again.

[EBentley]

I'm still trying to cut my grocery bill down. Ideally $50 for 6 days worth of food (all meals) for two adults and a toddler.

Is the idea to have a bunch stored up so you're only replenishing some items each trip (the ones on sale hopefully?) I just planned out this sunday's grocery list with the flier and my big pile of coupons. I planned a dinner for every night. We all eat leftovers for lunches, or spend less than $2 per person for something else I make. Breakfast is also cheap (oatmeal, yogurt, toast, egg, or granola bar.) But I'm still predicting a $80 grocery bill.

I can only store so much (and am not getting a freezer.) For example, this week pasta, gr beef and turkey, frozen vegs, cheese, bread are on sale. Do I stock up on as much as possible? Then next week something else is on sale, so I stock up on that. It seems like the next few weeks I'll still spend as much as usual, but have more on hand from it. But then I'll be spending less thereafter to restock? I am confused.

only buy sale items.
pair store sales w/ manufacturers coupons.
pair manufacturers coupons w/ store coupons.
BOGO free sales=2 coupons(1 per item)

i think as long as you only buy on sale and stick to items you have coupons for you can easily spen less while stockpiling also dont buy stuff you wont eat but be open to trying new things.

that's what we do, stock up on lots of stuff and then buy buy buy when it's on sale again! we use a deep freeze and that helps a LOT, especially on meat cost.
