Spent $35, which included $8 of popsicles (a necessity in our household). Got to the register and realized some of the potatoes in my 5lb bag already had spuds on them, so I put them aside. > > Stopped at Hannaford afterwards to pick up the potatoes and some more JA-LAP-EN-OHs and realized the same exact 5lb bag of potatoes was cheaper at Hanny- and looked 100% better than Walmart. Also realized that SOME canned products (especially veggies) are CHEAPER AT HANNY. > > Now, I love Walmart because the majority of the time the stuff I buy is cheaper, but last night proved that I should be shopping around. Both Walmart & Hannaford are on my way home from work, so no extra traveling is involved- just a few extra minutes. > > We’ve been spending about $35-45 a week on all groceries (bfast/ lunch/ dinner) for both of us the past few weeks and it is really adding up. We do eat leftovers a lot, but if you plan correctly, you don’t have to spend over $100 at the store every week! Talk to steff and help her buy groceries! No idea how the heck we spend 3 times that it seems and we are never home to have dinners together so its always little lunch’s and quick dinners then leftovers for tomorrow. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/saving-money-cutting-costs/265835)._
