I have now come to understand why it's so exciting when chicken is on sale for $3.00 a lb at meijer. Now that I have a home of my own, I've come to recognize the rediculous amount of money I spend on food. It doesn't help that I love to cook, because I am willing to spend money on things like herbs and spices. I think food would be a lot cheaper for us if I can stick to the boring routine of boiled potatoes and chicken...every night. Now if you have a husband like mine, you would be lucky because he simply does not care about food. In fact, I think he would prefer chicken and boiled potatoes....everynight. Since I've been married, I have come to learn the trade of grocery shopping. You see, chicken usually goes on sale every week at a certain time. That's because Meijer can't sale all their chicken breasts and they must sell it before a certain date. What you do then, is you stock up on chicken so it will last you for a few weeks. Then the you repeat the cycle. It is actually very exciting when you save big bucks for your home.
