Well I am. Part of my shopping and stocking up was shopping at Aldis and buying a ton of canned food. I find some frozen veggies that I buy can last my family three meals and taste sooo much better, not to mention the lack of sodium. This year I've been using up a lot of canned food so my pantry looks a little less stocked, so to say.
I cook beans in the pressure cooker or slow cooker, buy fresh or frozen veggies and fruits, use frozen fruits in smoothies, make my own broth or soup, etc. (I can't believe I bought canned potatoes at Aldis sometimes because I was too lazy to cook them. heh. Nasty,but dh ate them.)
Now some basics that I will always have on hand will be simple tomato products(can't seem to get around that one) a few tomato or cream of mushroom soups, and those gross canned mushrooms from Aldis that my dh loves. lol. Any veggie is fresh or frozen now. I can get a frozen pack at 77 cents or even 99 cents is a good deal and I don't use the whole bag at dinner and can put the rest back in the freezer.
I know it's not rocket science or anything but I'm really turned off by canned food now and doing my best to avoid and yet save at the same time. I think I can actually save more by not buying/stocking up on canned stuff and stocking my pantry with way more healthier stuff that I cook/make from scratch.
Anyone else.
