I also intend to make cards, videos and crafts from the kids because I think that's what family loves most. For long distance - instead of buying local, wrapping and mailing we have started buying from the their local stores online and direct sipping with wrapping. That's all I can think of right now....Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05443153003836499323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36725499.post-32816494950530898232011-11-13T12:16:57.393-05:002011-11-13T12:16:57.393-05:00Similar to you, I buy my meat at Kroger on manager...Similar to you, I buy my meat at Kroger on managers special (or when they do BOGO), and then plan my meals around that. I buy staples at Aldi and the rest of stuff at Meijer (unless it's on sale at Kroger for less, but I find better prices at Meijer, generally, and they're all within a mile of my house). I don't like going to three stores, but I usually only do Aldi once a month or so to stock up on the staples, and I try to do Kroger quickly without the kids when my husband's home, so I really only have to take Rebecca to Meijer while Rachel's at school.Weedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189649446206022688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36725499.post-60508681072866601042011-11-13T07:34:48.551-05:002011-11-13T07:34:48.551-05:00Oh Emily!

I've done this for several years and know it has saved us lots of money. We go through a ton of fruits and veggies each week, so I'd hate to see our grocery bill if I had to buy that stuff at full price someplace else.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832584500069938261noreply@blogger.com
