when I buy meat we buy in bulk ...

I can all the veggie I can, but I do buy mix in bulk I get 10 bags from our butcher .. they are great ... occasionally there a sale like last month I got buy 4 get one 1 free .

Other are like Kim I buy pinto in a 50 lb and Navy beans in a 25 lb bag again through the butcher

I buy 25 lb bags of rice at Walmart cheaper than anywhere else
Ketchup I usually by 10 for 10 .. some times we use a bottle a week ..

I buy onions in bulk and potatoes and keep them in root cellar ...

I chose meat - when meat is on sale, I buy alot of it.
I bought 70# of skinless chicken breast last time it was on sale. Pork chops are on sale this week at a local market - I am thinking of buying at least 15# of it because we never eat anything but chicken breast and ground turkey. I'm thinking this will spice up the menu a bit.
They also have steaks for $2.99/lb. I dont like spending that much for anything, but I may purchase a few pounds to "treat" ourselves sometime.

For me, SAL & Aldi's has pretty good prices on everything else. So I just get it as I need it. We stock up on the "neccesities" such as cream of mushroom soup, because without it, Todd cant cook all the meat we've got in the freezer! :-)
