Around here money is tight, and we have a fairly strict budget for everything, including groceries. We shoot for $300-400 a month to feed our family of 4, and that includes all of my gluten free stuff.
A few days before I go shopping, I check all my local ads, and make a list based on that with all of the current prices plus any coupons I have. I use the amounts to look for better prices on those items while I'm at other stores. Sometimes this means going to 3 or 4 different stores to get the best deals.
Today was shopping day, and it was definitely a good one!
Here is what I spent at each store. Prices are after all sales, discounts, and coupons.
