Update: My grocery bill in Atlanta dropped by $40 last week

I started planning meals around the weekly flyer at Kroger instead of just buying my usual stuff. Has anyone else tried this and found specific items that are always a good deal?

Honestly, the real game changer is checking the "manager's special" meat section. Got chicken breasts for half price just because the sell-by date was that day. Threw them straight in the freezer and planned meals from there.

Forty bucks is a crazy drop for one week.

Right? @olivia_lopez98 probably has a whole spreadsheet tracking meat prices by now. That drop is basically a free lunch or two.

That manager's special tip from scott.olivia is solid.
