YUmmie! Now earting pulled pork sandwiches. Curley’s pulled pork which I bought yesterday along with the bread I also purchased yesterday. And this morning I ate some Cheerios which I also bought in the same shopping trip. Total out of pocket cost for everything AFTER coupons-—65 cents.

There is someone who has written extensively about cutting down on food costs, and they mentioned that at a certain point, the ONLY way that tightwads can really substantially cut back any further is to buy in bulk.

But the online author I'm thinking of didn't mean those little bulk containers at the grocery store -- he meant like ordering a hundred pounds of white rice at a place like Waltons, to look at all the online resources for the cheapest cost in bulk staples likes cornmeal, beans, rice, etc.

One thing the same author mentioned was that one to slash your grocery bill was to add at least one-half cup of white rice to all your meals, to make certain you eat at least one cup of plain white rice everyday.

It seems that all the skinny Asians eat many cups of rice a day, so it must be pretty easy to simply add one a day to the conventional American diet.

Last week I heard that coupon redemption in the USA soared by 40 percent last year. I was amazed.
