Planning my meals around the sales helps. Also, when there is a good sale on meats (like when chicken cutlet is $1.99/lb or less) I buy alot of it, and freeze it in packs that I would cook, that the whole package.
Same here. I clip coupons every week, too.
I also buy my Cold Cuts at Best Yet Market....they run awesome sales on Boars Head. I also buy my produce there only...the prices are much cheaper than at major supermarkets, and they are always fresh.

stockpile when on sale, browse the circulars and use coupons!
I spend about $75/week on average for me and DH, and we eat out only about once per week and take lunch to work.
same here. I shop mostly on sale and stay away from impulse buys!

I wish my bill was $555 a month - we spend close to $1000 a month for a family of 3 and one of us is a toddler!! I have to say I do buy all organic for her and that can be more expensive but i dont know what we spend it on really...think I will start stop and shop to stop the impulse buys.
 I buy all organic meat as well and alot of organic fruits and veggies. I have to say Stop and Shop has a great selection and decent prices on organic. I learned with the organic meats to stock up when they are on sale.
I agree. Stop and Shop is great for organic, and very reasonable.

I spend about $80 a week for two adults...
I found buying the meats and chix on sale and freezing, and creating a grocery list and sticking it too it helps...plan your meals for the week...and if you need a starch and already have rice in the house, don't buy potatoes...things like that
the little things you grab but don't need b/c they "look good" really add up
