You know the budget's tight when bananas become an "impulse buy." :)
What kinds of corners have you had to cut lately?

Wow, great finds! And good job on bringing your own bags, I do that too! =D
Yum--I am loving the edamame lately too! They make for such a quick and easy snack to bring along to work and are yummy and fun to eat :o)

I have been cutting ALL sorts of corners. Today, I REALLY wanted miso, but didn't buy it.. I did splurge on Ume Vinegar.. for 2.10.
I find taking cash helps SOOO much. I don't have an option. Today, I only took 4.62 to the store which is what I had leftover (I budgeted 15 this week so I could put 10 into my bulk food fund).. Now I have 2.52 left and EVERY penny counts! I know I'll probably buy some collard greens because I have been craving them.
