Grocery Shopping

Along with the gas prices, food and other grocery items have been going up in expense. I got so flustered this weekend that in one store hubby and I left our cart in the isle (frozen food and all) and walked out. Not only were the items I needed too expensive, but they were also poor quality. I picked up some chicken breasts and they were literally swimming in... well... you know what. I grabbed a tub of ricotta cheese, and it was a month expired. I was forced to buy milk at $3.15 a gallon at another store, but it was the cheapest in town. Hows a gal supposed to be frugal with all of this going on?
