Only Buy These 20 Groceries Every Week - The Lunch Lady's List

📕 Get the full cookbook - The Lunch Lady's $3,600-a-Year Grocery Cut (175 recipes & tricks, scaled for 1, 2 or a family): www.dorislunchlady.com/ A grocery store carries thirty-three thousand items. A house runs on twenty. I spent thirty-five years behind a school lunch line in southern Ohio feeding four hundred children a day on a dollar and five cents a tray, and for twenty-three of those years the Thursday order sheet was mine. This is that sheet, written for one house instead of four hundred children: what to buy, what it costs this summer, and what the store is quietly charging you twice for. 👇 TELL ME IN THE COMMENTS: which one of my twenty would you fight me over and what did your mother always keep in the house that I left off? Tell me the county too. I read every one with my morning coffee. 🔔 Subscribe for what a house actually runs on and what it costs this week. This is the grocery list a school cafeteria ran on: what to buy every week on a tight budget, how to save money on groceries in 2026, the cheapest protein in the store, dried beans versus canned beans, buying meat and bread on markdown, block cheese versus shredded, whole peeled versus diced tomatoes, the pack date on an egg carton, how to read a unit price tag, what keeps in a pantry and what does not, and how a whole chicken turns into three pots and six plates. #groceryhacks #savemoneyongroceries #lunchlady
