you guys have Aldi supermarkets out there? Aldi is the cheapest place to buy food. It's owned by an Amish company. Eighty bucks worth of their food can hold me a month! It's not bad tasting either.

Jesus Christ...I spend about $70 a week on groceries.
We have a few Aldis in the area (there's one down the road from me). Truth be told, I haven't shopped there in forever...they used to be populated in St. Louis by...ummm...the underclass...and the stores were always dirty. That being said, it's pretty good stuff, and cheap.
The weird thing is, I haven't done standard grocery shopping since Rho was hospitalized in the spring. I usually go every couple of days to buy things...amazingly, I tend to save money that way...cut my food bill by $15-20 a week. This past week, I actually did a week's worth (well 4 days) of shopping and had to pick up some extra stuff (toilet paper and paper towels, which I buy in larger packs; and deodorant, which is rather expensive)...my bill came to $60, which wasn't too bad for us.
