I did this 6 months ago and it has paid great dividends. Cut my grocery bill and my auto expenses considerably. www.businessinsider.com/retiree-investing-low-interest-rates-2011-1I just tried the link and it does not work. I hate computers. The long article said buy a freezer and only buy on sale and buy large quantities and freeze them. Sorry. I may have fixed link, had a typo error.

FROM THE ARTICLE: I do not know whether you have a home or an apartment, but if you have room, get a suitably-sized freezer and only buy meat on sale. The price of meat on sale is frequently 50% or less of meat not on sale. Wrapped properly, many food items will last a year or longer. Use freezer paper for roasts and date every package. Packaged bacon also freezes well. I only buy bacon when it is 2 for 1. If you are nimble, learn to cut your own chicken. If not, buy the cuts you like on sale and freeze those. Buy ground beef on sale and make patties the size you like and freeze those. Pork chops freeze well too. I use good quality plastic wrap doubled up. Costco has excellent quality wrap in a large spool that will last a very long time. Get all the air pockets out or you will get freezer burn. Vacuum packaged cheese also stores well. It needs to be refrigerated and can be frozen, but does not have to be frozen. Buy storable commodities such as spaghetti, pinto beans, brown rice, etc. on sale. Try not to buy anything unless it is on sale. Then buy large quantities. Read more: www.businessinsider.com/retiree-investing-low-interest-rates-2011-1#ixzz1ClSud42H
