The market's in a slump and America's heyday is long gone. But I've found comfort in being a coupon clipper.
  • check out angel food

    It's not to everyone's taste, but Angel Food ministries has been a Godsend to my grocery bill. It's in most big cities and many small towns. Google it and see.

    Basically, a local church (you don't have to be in any way affliated with it or ANY religious organization) designates one Sat. a month for food distribution. Church volunteers distribute it in the parking lot There are no income checks and they welcome anyone who wants to save money on groceries. For about 30 bucks, you get 100 bucks' worth of food because they buy food at wholesale and have very little overhead cost.

    Especially if you eat meat, it helps A LOT with the bill. (The steaks that come with it about every other month are actually really, really good!)
