I shop at flea markets. Thankfully, our local flea markets also have huge produce sections. Because they don't have to pay for huge overheard, they are able to pass on the savings to shoppers. Additionally, I get my meats from my local meat shop. I prefer there because I know the meats come from local farmers and fishermen. Finally, cutting coupons only works if your family purchases a lot of processed foods. If you don't do that, it makes no sense to really cut coupons.

1) The fact that you have numerous vidoes of 1 to 2 min duration divided among topics that should be in one video means that it is annoying to click on 5 videos instead of just 1. Also, it speaks to your lack of organisation or poor marketing skills by trying to inflate the number of vidoes you have.

This works well for people living in suburban areas. For those living in more rural areas, and with rising gas prices, a one stop shopping trip tends to work best.
Our store (yep only one) is 20 min. away. So the plan doesn't work for us. BUT it is a very good plan for those who have the choices of more than one store close by!
I try to focus on saving not only on the bill but stretching the food as FAR as it will go. The trip into town costs about $6 in gas now! That's a pot roast!

Great advice! I also grow vegetables/herbs in my own backyard. That has also helped me save money. Being creative, flexible, frugal, and hopeful is what helps me get through these lean times.

A good tip is to research if your area has local farmers markets, fruit and veggie stands, local meat producers, etc. They'll have great deals on fresh items. Don't be afraid to hit church or school bake sales etc. When every dollar counts(especially for those families trying to make it through tough times) these kind of spots can provide good amounts of food at very low prices. Also, visiting bake sales towards the end of the sale will sometimes net you even bigger discounts!
