Grocery Tip of the Week

]]> Shop with a list!

Make a grocery list and stick to it.  Don’t be tempted by instore ads or specials if it’s not on your list.  Unless it’s something you KNOW you will use – like laundry detergent, toilet paper, etc.

Also, leave the kids at home when grocery shopping.  You’ll be amazed how much you save by not adding all of those little extras onto your grocery bill!

What Food is in Season (Winter)?

]]> What’s a person to do when faced with the dizzying array of “fresh” fruits and vegetables in the modern grocery store? Strawberries are now available in the middle of winter, but they also usually taste like cardboard at that time of the year! I’ve had to think through my buying habits very carefully in the last few years, since I spend most of my time and money in the produce aisle :-)

I love to buy organic if possible, especially if it’s an item with thin skin, or an item that I know from previous experience is far superior in taste to the non-organic varieties (like oranges). But organic is not the be-all and end-all of making choices. Some organic growers are huge agribusinesses that are only one step better than non-organic growers. They may not be spraying, but they are just as likely to be depleting the soil and shipping produce long distances.

Grocery Tip of the Week

]]> List at a Glance

I compiled a list of items that we buy on a regular basis.Instead of “writing” a list each month, I print it off on our home computer and post it on the fridge. I highlight what I need. Saves time since I can see at a glance what I need to buy.
