How can you eat for $100 a week?

Rachel:

Answer: Home Brand.  These two words have saved Kurtis and I at least $200 dollars so far on groceries.  Home Brand makes shopping so easy. You just go to what you want, look for the Home Brand label and know that that is the cheapest option.  Home Brand makes everything: eggs, milk, cookies, tin foil, bleach, bread, cleaners etc.  Our kitchen cabinets are red and white because of all the Home Brand products we have.  

It took Kurtis a little while to warm up to Home Brand, but I think he is a convert as well. The Home Brand pancake mix is the best.  He made me delicious pancakes the other morning with Home Brand mix, Home Brand eggs and Home Brand milk.  Basically Home Brand is the basic of everything, but when your poor, basic is all you need. 

Postscript: Kurtis is certain he has lost weight.  He believes I am starving him.  Look at this space for pictures of our full cabinets and fridge for evidence to the contrary.
