7 Tips for Saving Money at the Grocery Store

Have you seen the price of groceries?? They say prices have gone up 10% over the last year. Huh. I don't know what grocery store items they are looking at but... I can tell you right now, some things have gone up waaayyyy more!

I used to be able to get a 5 lb bag of apples for $5 or 6. Now it's $9. That's not a 10% increase. Not by a long shot. All of the fresh produce has increased... dramatically in many cases.

And let's not even talk about meat... a package of 3 top sirloin steaks was $70 in Costco the other day. That's over $20 for one steak. ONE steak! OMG! It's a good thing we don't eat beef... or pork... or chicken. We do eat salmon though and that is not cheap either. A serving of salmon is $10... still cheaper than beef.
