Default Re: I just can't get our food bill down...

Go big time on the rice and beans or lentils. Cut out soda and drink only water. This can be jazzed up with a little lemon.

Buy generic items. Meat or chicken should be chopped up and spread in with what you are serving. You'd be surprised how a little ingenuity can make the meat/chicken go further. Look for day old bread and freeze it.

Buy what is in season and stock up on sales of canned or frozen goods when on sale.

Try the wonders of crock pot cooking.

Read up on what constitutes a portion/serving of something. You'd be surprised how much more Americans eat than we need to. Eat less and you'll be healthier in the long run.

Switch to white vinegar and baking soda for your household cleaning needs.
You can save money there.

Read through the various tips on this site and use the links provided fopr other info to cut the grocery bill!

Good luck you can do it!
