I've done two things. First, I bought my own internet shopping portal (http://www.shoptoearn.net/sharynz).
I shop online (save money on gas and sales taxes, plus diminish impulse shopping) and get cash back from every purchase. Second, I joined a local organic food co-op, so every two weeks I get several pounds of organic fruits and vegetables. My grocery market/drugstore bills are almost nil these days and gas goes a lot further.

Yes I no longer go to the supermarket and do a big weekly shop. I go there only for items, like washing powder, cleaning items, and cat food, rice, Pasta and tins and items I can't get here. I stock up on all items I use a lot of, especially if on special offer. I buy my meat daily, veg daily in the local shops in my village, I think it was a case of if I saw it I bought it.

Sharyn,
Thanks for sharing your ideas with me! I loved getting my organic veg box last summer and will do it again as soon as I can find one in my area.
Looks like an interesting site. :)

That sounds similar to how we shop. I try to do as much as I can either in the village or at the weekly market which is just a few miles away.
Thanks for commenting and sharing!
