In preparations prior to heading to the store, I scour the sale adds and then clip all my digital coupons, and gather all other coupons. Then I make out my list designing our meals around the sale items. It takes a good amount of time. But because groceries these days are so expensive, I find it necessary.
For example, I purchased a large jar of sauerkraut which will be part of three meals. It will be used in Reuben sandwiches. I got a dollar off on the corned beef and a dollar off on the baby Swiss cheese. The rest of the kraut will be used in cooking beef smoked sausage in the kraut in the crockpot. I add a shredded carrot and a shredded apple to cut the sourness. Both the carrots and apples were on sale. This will make two meals. The carrots will be used in a crockpot beef stew using one of the two chuck roasts purchased on sale @ 6.99 per lb..
Just about everything was on sale or I had a coupon.
Tonight, Reubens, chips and cold packed garlic pickles.
