Food Prices

I have definitely noticed the RISING FOOD COSTS in my grocery shopping. I had 3 separate coupon sections from the Sunday paper to go through last week and I was a little disappointed by the lack of savings for necessities. There were quite a few coupons for febreze, glade candles, pantene shampoo, and mascara.. but the majority of the food discounts were on chips and cookies. Despite my own baking, I am actually trying to cut down buying those things.
Ah well - my #1 $ saving grocery shopping tip... Don't shop when I'm hungry.. ALWAYS eat a small snack before I head out! =D In my case, it helps!!!!
