Cau, this is what I've been doing also the past 2-3 months. Once a month a big shop then fill in at the local stores with milk, fresh veggies, etc. This is working out better for me than weekly or bi-weekly shopping. We have to go a little over an hour to the city to shop where there are big supermarkets and WalMart, etc.

Like the rest of you I can't come close to Roberta's low totals, I don't use that many coupons and no one doubles here anymore. For Oct. I spent $447.93 on food only and $89.05 on non food items (HBA, pet food, etc.) for a total of $536.98, that's about average for me. I'd like to keep it to $100 a week for everything but haven't been doing that for quite awhile.
