I had such a hard time finding hominy in NJ, now it is in just about every store here in FL, I just have to keep my eyes on sizes and prices. Since I budget $30 weekly for groceries, I can't always get everything on the list each week. So, last week included carrots, this week includes potatoes and onions (I had 2 onions still last week, so they dropped off the list then). Also by checking out the ethnic sections, you might find new things to include in meals, I love water chestnuts to add into homemade fried rice, and they are inexpensive. I have discovered Thai chili sauce (not hot) that makes tuna a whole new tasting meal. I buy mild chili peppers whenever and wherever I find them (Walmart is my go-to spot for these) and one day in Aldi's I find sticky rice rolls. They are sort of a rice krispies treat in a roll (about 1" wide and 3" long). They have just enough "sticky" to make them hold together, and just enough "sweet" to satisfy that need. Certainly spices are less expensive in the ethnic sections, and most times they are fresher too. When I can't find fresh bell peppers, I turn to the freezer section. In the ethnic sections of the freezer section, don't be afraid to pick up bags of veggies. Same quality, less expensive there too. If you pick up just plain chocolate after Halloween, you can use it in baking all year long. Even M&M cookies are delicious with Halloween M&Ms throughout the year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579989452439876698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-1504926635482726172018-10-24T07:01:21.951-04:002018-10-24T07:01:21.951-04:00Good advice Cheryl!

He is more than happy to go to several different stores to get the specials. He too checks clearance items. <br />Bluey is very good at sticking to the list where I am not. I write on a blackboard in the kitchen items we are running out of or items that are wanted. He makes sure those items are bought and for the best price. <br />Great advice Cheryl.
