Great pictures and good examples. I just wish our clients could get as much as yours. Our sale prices are almost double yours. Would love to shop in your grocery stores.

Thanks for the recipes and ideas. I love using roasted garlic in mashed potatoes — great flavor and garlic is inexpensive. I’m excited to try some of your other ideas as well.

Thanks, I was able to open the file directly from the blog, but still not from the link in the first email.

Good morning, Kim,

The link for the recipes is asking for authentication with a username and password. I’ve never had that happen before. Is there a problem with the link or my computer?

Great visual, but I would love to shop where you shop. Here in Vermont food prices are so much higher!!!!

Susan,
This is to give you an idea of what others are doing. If you like the idea, tailor it to your needs and with prices that are to be expected in the area you live.

I love this idea… I will use it at our WIC program

Your prices are totally out of whack with what we see at the local grocery stores today! For example, our bananas are $.59 per pound (not .29), our celery is $1.79 each (not .69), our peppers are $.99 each (not .33), our onions are $.79 per pound (not .29), and our baby carrots are $1.79 per pound (not .79), etc. To be effective, your tools should use some real prices. P.S. These are regular grocery store prices, not the small Mom & Pop stores that will charge much more.

Yes! Wonderful job, great tool! A agree with Monica that it would be even more useful if put into some kind of printer friendly format or PDF as she mentioned.
