which works better for you and why?
Difference between God and humankind: God can say, 'be', and it becomes, but humankind has to act on what it says.

I buy fruits and vegetables once a week, meat mostly once every 2-3 weeks. But I do buy some things in large quantities such as tomato sauce cans, frozen mixed veggies and juice cartons(Tropicana) from Costco. Also, I always buy cooking oil(biggest size available) because it saves me money.

The only thing I ever really buy in bulk is cases of cereal and water.
it's the heart afraid of dying, that never learns to dance; It's the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance; It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give; And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live.

my dad shops at costco so we usually buy staple things in bulk, and then run to the grocery store for small stuff like cake frosting & fresh produce.

well i live wit my sis. and she buys her groceries monthly. dat way its easier for her to figure out her budget. + going to sam's club saves us so much money, we buy monthly supply at wholesale price. i think buying someting one at a time kinda gets u offf trck of your budget and ur spendings.
