grocery lookout

Seeking the best for less so I added the Grocery LookOut to my blog.  I have found being cost effective in shopping makes staying on CR easier.  I have frequented the Costco warehouse stores in our area within 5 to 10 mile radius.  There is a membership fee to join but the cost savings is tremendous over the year.  Groceries at the nearby regular grocery stores have smaller container quantities and it makes it expensive for small 8 oz fruit cartons opposed to a 5 lb. bag of blueberries. Fresh strawberries at $5.99 for 5 lbs is a great buy and if I can find it cheaper the better. It's nice to see Costco rotates seasonal fruits and vegetables plus the usual staples you like to munch on. There are many items to find there.
