This past January, we shared a blog post on how to incorporate grocery shopping into your “Save Money” resolutions for 2017! As I’m sure you’re well aware, there’s a little bit of a misconception out there that buying organic or natural groceries costs a small fortune! So we wanted to demonstrate how to shop for a family of four for just $100 in one week, and found that it was incredibly useful for a lot of you! Soooo… due to popular demand, we’ve decided to make this a regular occurrence, featuring various items from both our Monthly Specials and regularly priced items!
We hope that you enjoy!
