Budget Grocery Shopping

I very rarely do the grocery shopping in our house. I'm not sure why, but I just don't like it. When I'm at the store I just get anxious to leave. With that being said, I know my right to complain is pretty much null, but I'm just gonna get in this quick jab. Martha bought the one-ply toilet paper the other day. It's true. I am not picky about most grocery items but there are some things even poor college folk like us still need pay full price for. In light of the TP incident, I compiled a list of items you just can't be cheap on.

1. toilet paper
2. meat
3. cheese (Tillamook only)
   
4. Chex cereal
5. mac n' cheese (Kraft only)
