A poor man's Central Market

If there is anyone out there that knows me and hasn't heard me rave about Sprouts, then this one is for you. I love going to Central Market. It makes me feel like a grown up to stroll the endless aisles of organic, herb-infused, yumminess. What I don't like is that I can only buy 4 things before my grocery budget is shot. Enter Sprouts. I say it is a poor man's Central Market, but this is not reflective of the quality, just the prices. This store is my new best friend. I LOVE IT!!!!! I can take $40 and buy a week's worth of fresh, locally grown veggies, fruits and meats with enough left over to sneak in some bulk chocolate covered almonds. You think I'm kidding? Go to www.sprouts.com and look at the online circular. Rump roast for $1.99/lb, organic apples $.77/lb, 1 lb. packages of strawberries 2 for $3 (and I thought that this was an off week)! Madness!!! They also process all their meat in store, hand stuff all the brats and sausages, and still have better deals then the regular grocery store. Oh, I hear you naysayers out there..."Good for you, Leah, but I don't live in Dallas. Enjoy your organic feasting Miss Dallas Fancy Grocery Girl." Good news. This company is spreading like a Texas wild fire. They currently have stores in CA, CO, AZ and TX. Look at the website and see how many COMING SOON!'s there are. Tons. Fresh food that doesn't wreck my budget? What's not to love? Momma happy.

BUDGET LIVING: I always go on Wednesdays. This is double ad day where you get the next week's sales and the last week's sales. It's the highlight of my week.

After this baby is born, I'm so going to add that to my list. You really should try the grocery game for the rest of your stuff. Saves me TONS! And helps satisfy my addiction to saving money.
