Working Poor

I remember in the '90s you could find 12 oz packages of pasta on special sale 3 for $1 now they seem like they worked a miracle when 1 lb is under $1. I guess that's not so bad when when I look at my old college and tuition of today having increased to 8 times what it was over 35 years.

I would love to coupon but it seems to demand a level of organization we don't have here. We try to use them and plan trips but it's irregular. Finding a store that doubles would be a big help.

I love Aldi and hit their organic stuff a lot like the canned tomato products. My wife has a recurrence of cancer so we're trying to avoid stuff with certain additives. I get to Trader Joe's sometimes but their prices are too high on most things. We have a chain of stores here called Produce Junction and their prices are quite good. My wife and I like cucumber salad and it's filling.

I'll post here if I find any tips on couponing.
