"My name is Leslie Moselle, and I'm from Tampa Florida, and on behalf of Expert Village, this is how to shop for groceries on a budget. Different stores for different items. When you're shopping on a budget, you don't always have to go to the same store for all of your items. This is something that a lot of people don't remember, some stores have products that are great items, that are on sale, that can be purchased there. But sometimes different items that they have there might not be best. So say you want to buy your meat from Winn Dixie. Winn Dixie has great meat products that are at great prices. Sweetbay does also, but the price just might not be as great as Winn Dixie. But, Sweetbay has great produce, so when shopping on a budget, if you really want your items to stay fresh longer and you want to get the best for your money, you want to shop at stores that specialize in the products you want to purchase. So say Sweetbay has great produce. If you want to buy some grapes, and you want them to last long, and you want to enjoy them, buy that from Sweetbay. Take an additional trip to Winn Dixie if you want to buy your meats, if you really want to spend your money wisely. You don't always have to do this on the same day. You can take one day to buy certain items and take another day to buy other items. These can be sealed properly and these can be dated, and you can use the tips that I told you earlier about how to make your food last longer. So remember, different items for different stores. "
