We live in a state where the price of milk is regulated and a half gallon of 1% milk is close to $2. Knowing the usual prices certainly helps and in my case taking my adult son who has a practically photographic memory for prices grocery shopping with me helps me know where the cheapest prices are. He manages a frozen food department at our local store, so he knows all those prices and makes it easy to compare prices at other stores. When you find yourself buying the same thing week after week. Stock up the next time you see it on sale for a 4-6 week supply and that should keep you till the next sale. Do this for all your regular purchases and soon you will find you have a stocked pantry and your grocery bill has gone down. I haven’t seen $2 milk in years!

The cheap chicken I bought most recently says 8% water. Even factoring that in, the price is still great. JMJ–I’ve noticed that some chicken packages actually state the water content on the package.

At my store, it is actually cheaper than ground beef that is on sale. As far as crackers and things like that go, if you can't find coupons, try Dollar General store. They have some name brands, but also store brands. The store brands are around $1.00 for a box of crackers. My Dollar General store also has milk, cheese, lunch meat, and some frozen foods.

I live in dairy country, but yet the absolute cheapest milk I've seen in the past 3 or 4 years here is just under $2.50 a gallon. Eggs have gone high at other times, but lately I've gotten them for less than $1 a dozen. Just yesterday I paid 69 cents a dozen.

The vegetables are always so much better and are often better priced than your grocery store. Defintely fresher. Or better yet, just grow your own. We also buy our cage free eggs from an individual for .99 a dozen. If I bought them at my local grocery store, it would be $4.00 for cage free. Don’t forget your local farmer’s market.
