Now, we only have one IGA, and all the rest of the grocery stores in town are Albertson’s, which is really weird. The others were all bought out several years ago. So, now, we just do Wal Mart and Costco, as they have the best prices. Needless to say, the coupons seem to have dwindled as well, and I don’t think that we get double coupons any more.<br /><br />My husband drinks a lot of Gatorade, so I’m going to have to try your recipe.

I think the easiest way to save money when one is budgeting is to look at ones food bill. It can always be cut down with creative thinking and some planning. I always plan my meals by seeing what I have and then shopping the loss leaders at my stores. Don't walk into a store without a plan. Side note, I'm glad you are getting to spend some good time with your parents! Can't wait to see pics of the swing set.Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-52730784022634836742009-05-20T08:30:00.865-04:002009-05-20T08:30:00.865-04:00Great job Monica!
