Yes, buying and cooking in bulk can cost more up front but save money over time. It is also important to check sales at your local stores. The front pages of the weekly circulars often contain some great deals. The "loss leader" items are things the store sells at cost or even at a loss just to get you into the store. If you can focus on those and not be tempted to pick up other things while there, you can save a lot.

Also, look for discount stores in your area. Do you have an Aldi's? How about a Super Wal-Mart?
