    Sometimes I find shopping in the International aisles for certain products is cheaper then in the regular aisle.

    1970's we didn't have bottled water, I remember when they first started selling it late 80's I thought it was crazy that anyone would pay money for water in a bottle and yet here we are today I bought in to it for years till I bought a Brita water pitcher. Anna In Ohio

    My mother had a very tight budget shopping to feed seven in the 1970s. She would spend so much time finding low cost items in the store.
    I am so blessed to be able to purchase organic foods!

    My grandma raised her own, gardened her own, made her own from scratch or bartered with neighbor farmers. No additives, preservatives, MRNA, vaccines, nanoparticles, plastics, pesticides or precarious unknowns in her food EVER. She also knew whose hands have touched her food.

    Also check the unit price, displayed in either yellow or orange, on the shelf price tag. This helps me figure out which item is cheapest when most items are very similar.

    My grandmother never went shopping for vegetables, she had a garden. If my grandmother wanted eggs she sent me to the chicken coop. If we were going to have chicken she sent me to the chicken yard to pick out the one I wanted (but then I had to chop its head off, bleed it, pluck it, dip it, shave off the pin-feathers and let it rest so she could cut it up). As for fresh dairy, well, you milked the house cow every morning and afternoon. At grandmother's house you saved three days worth of separated cream (from the fresh milk) and used a "daisy churn" to make butter. For a seven-year-old city kid in 1965 that was considered fun!

    When milk is on sale, and you have freezer room buy more. Use the frozen milk in 4 to 6 weeks. Also I mix whole milk with powdered milk to stretch the budget. When made you will have 2% milk and 1 gallon turns into 2. If time is not on your side, keep a half gallon of water in the frig. I do this when I need to make quicklet. I just bought milk yesterday for 3.69 a gallon, by mixing whole with powered the cost is 1.88 a gallon.

      Why buy cows milk when I prefer Plant-based, and have a machine to make it with, so long as I have almonds oats on hand? A lot cheaper and healthier, kinder to animals and the environment.

      Mixing powdered milk with whole milk is a great trick, and it’s a trick that was used in the 1970s to help stretch a budget.

    Check for (even ask) when discount products are put out in each department. Often this is some time in the morning after department heads have gone through thier cases or shelves. Often markdowns are done primarily on specific days of the week and time of the day.
