My Rock Bottom Price List

What are Rock Bottom Prices? My Rock Bottom Prices are the lowest prices that I see grocery items. When I find an item at “Rock Bottom Price”, I will stock up on that item until the next sale time (usually 6 – 8 weeks out). I have found that I have cut my grocery bill by about $30/week by doing this (often more!). This may not sound like much money to you—but I was a frugal shopper before I started shopping like this. I now spend no more than $50/week for a family of four and there are many weeks I will spend $20 or less (since I am relying on what I stocked.) Also realize that my “grocery bill” includes many of those personal necessities—shampoo, soap, batteries, toilet paper, etc…)
