Grocery prices vary so much with your location. Those of you lucky enough to live in the Boise Area, I will share my current list here in a moment. Those of you outside of the Boise area can create a list of your own using mine as a guide. By shopping this way, we spend less than half of what the average American family spends on groceries and you need to remember that our family of 7 is much larger than the average family. Saving money on your grocery bill is the fastest way to find extra savings that you can use to fill your emergency fund.
