There are times when I go food shopping and just get the basics for my family and try to get in and out as fast as I can (usually when I have the kids with me)!! Other times I like to take my time, planning new meals and picking up treats.

So, what are some of your staple items when shopping for groceries? Is
there something that you 'have' to get for your partner/kids? What do
you think about organic products? Let me know your regime.

I used to buy a lot of more expensive convenience foods. Now, on a fixed income, it is meat, chicken, potatoes, cheese, cat necessities. I do powdered milk to eliminate waste. Soy milk for spouse. No desserts except an occasional treat and ice cream tubs. I bake and use rice and pasta to vary the dishes I make. Tinned tomatoes, and some spices. Cheaper meats go into the crockpot, throw is some bullion cubes and water. Good meals at an inexpensive cost. A little soy or balsamic vinegar can really heighten the taste. I get a steak spice (now only at IGA), it really perks up beef. No pork except occasional roast, price has skyrocketed. Whole chooks in slowcooker, then can get several meals, including alfredo pasta, mexican casserole and chicken, potstoes and veg. Have been trying gardening, but soil here is the pits. Will take some time to get it right, but tomatoes, yes! Better from the garden and so cheap to grow! Have a standard pantry so only rarely deviate. Pinterest new main eals and lots of baking ones. That is my favourite thing, baking.
