I think that is everything. When you look at this list, you might think what about produce, milk, bread etc... I spent $ 20.00 on these things at Aldi. If it seems like I am missing things like chicken or soup or anything else, that is because I have all of that already. I only buy when prices are rock bottom, stockpile those things and never, ever need to pay more than the very lowest price for anything. This has given me so much wiggle room in my grocery budget, that I can pay for Marcus' guitar lessons out of my grocery money. We go out to eat occasionally from the grocery envelope. I have so much of some things, that I will give a huge box to the Neighborhood Center at Christmas. Learning to do this well has really made a huge difference in our ability to stretch our grocery money. I am so thankful that God led me to

ps. One example of a "rock bottom" price...right now Walmart has Campbell's creamy soups marked down to .58 a can. I used 9 $1.00/5 coupons and bought 45 cans. That makes them .38 a can. That is rock bottom for creamy soup, and I now have about 70 cans in my basement. I will never need to pay .55 at Aldi and I am using name brand instead of store brand.
