Grocery IQ

So, as broke as I am - I am not good about looking at the cost of every single thing I buy at the grocery store. I have my routine foods that I buy for lunches and such and so I just grab them and go.

But sometimes my eye lands on something and I see insanity.

Like the baby carrots I was always buying. Did you know that they are pretty much regular carrots just made to look pretty and cost more? So, I switched to buying regular carrots and chopping them up each morning.

Yesterday, I grabbed a 2 lb. bag of apples, like usual. But this time I grabbed the "honey crisp" variety because they are soooo yummy. Didn't even think about the cost.

Um that bag cost $13.50!!!!

So, I am now on a mission to watch what I eat from an entirely new perspective. While my grocery costs aren't astronomical, it can't hurt to taker a closer look at the cost of my usual foods and think of ways to tighten the wallet while tightening my belt!
