Here are the price comparisons from the different grocery stores this week. It is a good way to see which store you want to be shopping at. Again…. it is Randalls. HEB is also a stand out this week! Who would have guessed that they are becoming the place to shop?! A few tips to make your shopping list:
- Plan your entire week out
- Start with your protein portion of your meal first, finding the lowest prices on those items will help reduce your bill
- Plan possibly using your leftovers in another meal, for example, if I make chicken and they don’t eat it all, I can shred what is left to put in soup the next night.
- Plan your sides as well. Find coupons for the side dishes, snacks, breakfast and lunch item.

I am in Houston and your site is the best I have found to help save my family money (I have 6 kids myself). I think that you have done a great job laying out the comparison pricing. Are the match-ups located somewhere else? I would also love to see what your grocery strategy is (what you will buy, where and with what coupons) weekly.
