Awhile back I posted that we are going to be trying out Sam's Club to see if it helps on the grocery bill. You gave me advice and tips. Thanks.
I felt I needed to update you. Sorry I have no photos. I always want to just get in and get out.
It seems to be working! Though the drive is a bit long, we have noticed a difference.
Here's what we buy:
Everytime-
POMS toilet tissues (we seriously got through a-LOT)
bottled water
milk (daughter doesn't like the taste, but mama likes the price)
bread
as needed/occasionally-
crackers
vegies/fruit
instant oatmeal
powered drinks
brown sugar/splenda packets
ground meat (not to daughter's liking)
other meats
gum (gotta have the gum)
dishwasher soap
detergent
Here's my stragedy: we buy the items on our everytime list, then depending what is left on my main grocery list I get whatever items I can from the other list. So this time I will get ground meat and detergent, the next time the gum and ... well you get the idea.

So is your food budget lower at all?
mandi...no, we haven't lowered our food budget. i have had the same amount of $$ for food for a number of years. my food budhet is for toiletries and such as well. it helps me to get more of what we need/and some extras.
