SOS Tips: Smart grocery shopping
2. Find out the actual prices of food
- Be vigilant: Just because a food item is listed as “on special” doesn’t necessarily make it a bargain!
- That’s why you should know the prices of the foods that take up a large portion of your grocery bill, like meat, fish, fruits or fresh vegetables.
- Some prices are easier to remember than others.
Here are some prices to remember:
| $6.59/kg ($2.99/lb)* |
|
| $8.80/kg ($3.99/lb)* |
|
| $15.41/kg ($6.99/lb)* |
|
| $14.30/kg ($6.49/lb) |
|
| $2.99/lb |
|
| $2.20/kg ($0.99/lb) |
|
* When the meat is offered at this price, it makes sense to buy in bulk and freeze it. Often, the low price is offered for a family pack, but even singles can benefit from it. Simply rewrap it in individual packages before freezing.
This is all great, but how are you supposed to remember all of these prices? By simply checking the Save Money section at SOSCuisine.com.

I find I waste money and food because I’m only shopping for three retired persons. How can I store cottage cheese, or specialty greens when I don’t need them in my recipes again for maybe weeks on end?
Hi Janet, our meal plans for 3 people in the household should help you. I do not know of any goos solution for cottage cheese.
