We find the cost savings are worth it because I don't have time to clip coupons (household goods) & we eat a lot of produce. You could certainly find things cheaper at various stores, but we typically only go to one store/week. Given that I'm not going to drive aroudn for the best deal on apples at one store, bananas at another, tomatoes at a third, etc, it averages out to be better savings for us. We also have an executive membership (costs more, but you get a refund on the difference if it's not worthwhile) & save extra on that as well.Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-6412799311969078132013-03-01T10:21:14.589-08:002013-03-01T10:21:14.589-08:00It really does add up.

I do have some porkchops, but totally not in the mood for it. But hey, not my choice. So it'll probably be that with a heaping portion of vegetables. Congrats on mastering the pizza dough! I remember the first time I did, I thought I'd just make different pizzas for months at a time. Glad other things restricted me from doing so. (But hey, you can use pizza dough to make empanadas and other meat pies. They freeze perfectly.)Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075300256482920618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-64213361171067608262013-02-26T11:15:03.317-08:002013-02-26T11:15:03.317-08:00We are going to Oregon for a family wedding in Sep...We are going to Oregon for a family wedding in September and are going to stock up there!
