"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."
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.
