BEST FRUGL TIP FOR ME THIS MONTH

I re-orged the fridge so that partially used and other items that need to be used quickly are in plain sight so I didn't overlook them.

We don't eat as cheaply as many of you due to my lactose- and gluten-intolerance (e.g., GF pasta is $4.79/12 oz, almond milk $1.49-$2 /qt); our few, distant, and not particularly cheap ethnic groceries; eating pastured meat, eggs and butter; organic "dirty dozen" produce (so no cheap apples). Spent a little over $500 this month for 2 adults who usually eat all meals but one a week at home.
