Breakfast is usually cereal (for Aaron who gets up before all of us), eggs or toast with fruit, yogurt, etc. For lunch I eat mostly leftovers or soup but the manfolk like sandwiches (turkey for Aaron and PBJ or grilled cheese for the boys). <br /><br />I used to shop at Walmart for everything but have found that if I do shop the sales and special deals at Kroger that I am able to get more for my money. It usually takes me a hour to go grocery shopping (without the boys) as opposed to 30-45 min at Walmart because hunting around for the best deals takes more time. <br /><br />I haven't mastered coupons yet (ha! I haven't even reached novice level!) but I use them when I can. <br /><br />I used to plan my menus before I went to walmart and but now I kinda see what is on sale at Kroger and then plan my dinners around when I can get for a good deal. Some of the managers specials on meat or the 10 for $10 deals are really good. But every week is an adventure--kinda stressful too. It is a struggle to keep the grocery bill down. Good luck!

Do you do things quick and easy for breakfast and lunches? Do you find you save more money going to kroger using coupons and your kroger card? We shop at wal-mart, but I wonder if I could save more going to food lion or kroger using their card and getting things on sale or off brand. Just wondering your thoughts!
