The first rule of being frugal on the grocery bill is to eat the food that's fresh. You don't open a can of peaches if there's a cantaloupe to be cut. You don't get out Ramen noodles or a box of mac&cheese for a light supper if there is leftover chicken-n-dumplings in the fridge to be nuked. You don't eat the Oreos when there is leftover home-made coffeecake on the table. You don't take things out of the freezer or the cupboard when there are foods on the counter or in the refrigerator that would spoil within a week.
This doesn't seem terribly complicated.
Why do so many people (including one I live with) not understand this?

I spent years trying to get people around here to understand that.....now that a couple of them are paying their own bills, I think they're coming around, but why did it take so long??? :)
