A family of three, expecting a fourth member, spends $124.59 on groceries at Trader Joe's and Price Chopper. Their grocery strategy is primarily guided by weekly ads, focusing on sales of staples like pork shoulder. They regularly maintain a supply of ingredients for meal flexibility, avoiding waste by freezing proteins. Due to pregnancy and a toddler, the shopper emphasizes the importance of having ample fruits and vegetables available, enabling well-rounded meals instead of resorting to snacks.
We base most of our shopping at Price Chopper around the weekly ad. Besides staples, we try to shop almost exclusively from the flyer.
We're not often starting a week completely from scratch, which makes it easier to focus on the sales and work with what we already have.
Especially right now, I find myself erring on the side of caution when it comes to groceries. I'd rather have plenty of fruits and vegetables on hand.
I also like keeping a decently stocked freezer and pantry so I can make something well-rounded and filling, rather than giving into pregnancy cravings.
