We raised 4 children, a dog and 2 cats and our groceries would hover around the $100 week range.We shopped specials, reduced meats, bread, and produce.A friend of mine would shop and never look at prices. If she liked it, she bought it.She was brand loyal too. She also complained about groceries being high priced.If you want to lower your grocery bill, you need to use common sense. Stop buying boxes of cereal. Instead start making, from scratch cooked porridge, pancakes,eggs.Lunches can be simple sandwiches.For supper, start making stews, cooking roasts, using leftovers for casseroles and soups. Meat should not be the main focus of the meal. Portion control is important. Start using smaller plates, offer bread (buy a bread maker, and yeast in a jar) and salads at meals. A simple cake is cheap to make for dessert. Add a lemon sauce (cheap to make) Yumm.Pizza is cheap to make. Buy blocks of cheese on sale, and grate them yourself.Start freezing leftover bits of veggies in a tub. When tub is full, make a soup. Make stock from bones.Make google your friend. there are so many recipes out there to make your own "master recipes" from puddings,cakes,dip mixes,cookies.All you need to do then is add egg and water/milk.Just like a box mix.Taco seasoning mix and homemade salsa is very easy and cheap to make.Get the family involved and have some fun. Dried beans and lentils are inexpensive and very versatile.Dilute whole milk when cooking. From Nova Scotia here.

Yes, you do have a 4 hour break for rest/sleep if the turbulance will allow this. That recycled air, full of everyone's germs, gets pretty rough after this amount of time also. you have to 'walk in someone's shoes' before you can make these comments. maybe you should start your work day at midnight and be on your feet for 15 hours.

A doctor once told me that we probably come in contact with diseases that they don't even know about yet in North America. And we have to deal with the poor decisions made by the upper management. We are the front line employees. And usually the last to hear of schedule changes, doing the best we can with a moments notice.
