My neighbor's garage sale taught me a $200 lesson about my grocery budget

My neighbor Deb was selling her old chest freezer at a garage sale on Saturday for $40, and I almost walked right past it. Then she told me she feeds her family of four on $350 a month because she buys meat in bulk when it goes on sale and freezes it. I looked at my own receipts from the past three weeks and I was paying almost $200 more than her for the same number of dinners. So I bought the freezer and now I'm waiting for the next big sale to stock up. Does anyone else do the freezer and bulk thing, and where do you draw the line on what's actually worth stocking up on?
