The basics or staples.... What you need or what you and your family use every day.
We as a girlie household go through:
Paper products: Toilet Paper - we go through so much TP that we should own stock in a TP company.
Fresh don't last things: Milk, bananas, eggs, salad and bread.
We eat tons of banquet chicken, chicken patties, chicken nuggets, chicken strips......
So these are the things I always look for on sale!! or a coupon for them or any savings at all....
Order things online and have them shipped to you. You would be surprised of online specials or first time or sample offers.
We used to eat a lot of hamburger meat however we have changed to turkey meat besides hamburgers we use turkey meat in almost all of our mixes. Even in my meatloaf, I use turkey and no one can tell the difference. Let's face it we have some picky picky eaters. If they do not see me doing it they do not know. Not that deception is really part of the thing here; however my family does not know the difference until they catch me doing it.
Now I know that there are some recommendations out there to water down the milk or water down the ketchup. I don't do that except in recipes I will water down the milk if I do not have canned milk but only to use in the recipe not to give to my family to drink..... Nor do I mix up evaporated milk to give to my family to drink. Now there has been suggestions to get milk on sale and freeze it. Yes we tried it, but when it was thawed out I did not like the taste of it and neither did my family.
Someone suggested to buy eggs and freeze them. Now it is to my understanding that this is the way they come for restaurants so we are going to try this and see how it works out. Also on the eggs if you know someone who raises chickens you might want to see if they will give you, trade you or sell you eggs. Even at $1 a dozen you are getting a good deal.
Suggestions: Go to your friends and family and see what they do, every little suggestion could be worth a savings!
