For example, I had meals planned that required ground beef, but ground turkey was less expensive, so I decided to buy it instead. When I got to the store, I saw that ground pork was also on sale for even less than the ground turkey, so I ended up buying the pork.

I also had a recipe that called for a small amount of All-Bran cereal, but I found that a small box was nearly $4. While I like bran cereal just fine, I refuse to pay that much, so I mentally changed that recipe to include oat bran, which I already had at home, instead of buying the All-Bran.

My husband often has to drive around town in order to find Roman Meal bread, the only bread he really likes. Fortunately, I’m not so picky.
