| Nov. 21st, 2009 @ 10:56 am Our shopping habits |
|---|
We are sort of picky about some items we buy but not others. We tend to go shopping once or twice a week and rotate which store we go to so we can stock up. We got an inexpensive chest freezer so that we could stock up on frozen veggies and other stuff to reduce waste and cut costs.
We have been buying more fresh veggies because Brian likes to make soup now, but frozen veggies are good for us because they don't rot before we can eat them.
Winco is great for most staples, bread, pizza dough, soda, mold killing vinegar, mixers for alcohol, pinyatas, and baked goods.
My family avoids RsBT dairy products and they don't have those at the two Winco stores nearest us, so we go to Safeway or Fred Meyer and pay a bit more.
At Grocery Outlet we get soap, OTC medications, olives, pickles, canned food, frozen stuff, cooking wine, and some super cheap fancy food that's been discontinued or has had a pacakge redesign. They are not consistent but we get most of our chocolate there too.
We go to New Seasons or occasionally Trader Joes for eggs, meat, and cheese, and random specialty items.
We have a Costco membership which we use primarily for gasoline, but we also get toilet paper, bagels, and juice. |
