I've done a little experiment with grocery shopping.
Over the past couple years I've gone to Wally World (wal-mart). I started to wonder what was up when my grocery bill gradually went up. It quickly got to the point of out of control.
Each time I visit I have to go from one side of the store to the other.... that's where they get you.
I was picking up candles, craft items, kids clothing... etc.
My bill in the meantime had gone up almost $100 a week. Out of control I tell ya!
So, after we moved I visited the new Wally World, same deal.
Then I decided to go back to the grocery store get a saver card and all.
In 2 weeks my grocery bill is down $75 a week and I'm getting more food. Yes some items are more expensive but I'm saving money. I've also noticed the high quality of meats and produce.
I'm saying so long farewell to my weekly trips to Wally World! Hello little ole small town Brookshires.
P.S. I love that I get help out to the car!
Coming soon, back to coupon Frugal Jen.

Right on! That's exactly the reason I don't shop walmart or target! It turns out those $1 spot prizes add up really quickly!
I never buy meat at Wal Mart...always go to the grocery store for that. They usually have pretty good produce though, but yea, you have to be strong and not pick up lots of stuff you don't need!!
