Got groceries?

If there were not two kids in my household, I would see just how long I could make it on bread and water.

I made my weekly visit to the store for the necessities, bread, milk, eggs, etc. and EVERYTHING in the store is high. The juice I buy went from $1.12 to $1.34, cookies $2.50 to $2.77, bread $1.07 to $1.16, milk $2.36 to $2.46. All of this might add up to just a few pennies but that's just it....it adds up!

I am a single mother of two who counts every nickle, dime and penny and mine simply fly out the window when it comes to groceries. What can I do about it? Right now, nothing.

If you've got tips, please pass them along to me.

You could check out the coupons in your friendly Anniston Star. Haha.

Andrew,

I save about $5 to $8 per trip (monthly shopping trip) using those coupons. Winn-Dixie doubles everything that's 50 cents off (or less). That adds up.
