I work at a grocery store as a cashier, so I'm at the grocery store almost every night.

Basically, my shopping consists of watching what people buy for a few days, then near the end of the week buying things I absolutely need to get-- mostly perishables-- and looking through my coupons and seeing what's on sale that I have coupons for (I get lucky surprisingly often) and what's on sale that I don't have coupons for or what I have nearly-expired coupons for that's not on sale. My store will also match other stores' advertised prices, although I don't usually bother with it, and I've seen people do amazing things by combining price matching and coupons.

(Well, that's the ideal, at least. In practice, I tend to go 'ooh, that looks tasty!' and grab a few groceries after my shift. Every day. Maybe I should start leaving my debit card at home....)

My meals consist of me looking around the kitchen and finding something reasonably tasty. Tonight I had mushroom ravioli-- with plain pasta added to stretch it to several meals-- with extra mushrooms and alfredo sauce, and a little feta cheese on top. Tasty. :)
