Love the groceries there--much nicer and cheaper produce than I can get.Frugal Scholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696815672500452503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-3532050455345415872014-08-19T05:47:44.829-05:002014-08-19T05:47:44.829-05:00I love scanning the grocery ads too!

Here our best value for produce is the farmers market. Grocery stores run specials, but we're very picky about everything & try to buy only organic which can be daunting and expensive. Thank goodness for Trader Joe's and the farmers market! BTW didn't know that avocados can be frozen thanks for the tip! I like to eat them mashed up on toast for breakfast, so texture-wise I don't really care.Idee Fixehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12679508229122634978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-51629539717706683202014-08-18T13:27:00.580-05:002014-08-18T13:27:00.580-05:00Ads don't seem to work the same way here in Br...Ads don't seem to work the same way here in Britain. They all seem to be full of candy bars, beer and convenience foods, not the simple ingredients I want to buy. I kept a price book for years and still know the good price for the pantry items I stock in bulk. Several chains now stock generic and 'basics' - almost sub-generics and those are sometimes amazing prices, though I plan to weigh up some drained tins of tomatoes to see if they are really that good a deal.

I love looking at the grocery ads, both as a form of meditation as well as relaxation! Small pleasures. :)<br />I also ring my children and tell them what is on sale and sometimes they ring me to tell me the late night bargains they've scored at their local grocery store. Prices on expiring meat/produce get slashed at the end of the day and there are often ridiculous bargains to be had - I'm just not enough of a night owl to bother.Gam Kauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246353719716935408noreply@blogger.com
