Frugality never goes amiss. Yeah, I know, sounds like a platitude, but the reality is, every penny you don't spend is one you have in your accounts/pockets. [Shrug].
There are some groceries that are worth paying extra to have; but for pantry staples, canned goods, brand items--it's just downright dumb to pay 40% more just so you can say you don't shop at (Kmart, Walmart, Dollar Store), etc. And yes, that allows me to shop at the butcher, instead of getting that godawful, too-lean beef that chain groceries have now. (And to go to this absurdly, ABSURDLY overpriced store/bakery to have my occasional binge of macaron cookies--not to be confused with macaroons--and indulge myself.)
