    XETAGAYU,

    You do all the grocery shopping in Indian store and spend only $40 every week?

    What is Comcast performance package?

    Even we are also techies, heavy WFH situations, IP TV, IP Phone all.. I am on Comcast "Performance" package... never had any issue :) I pay $33/Month :) . May be once you are running out of your contract, try to switch to Uverse for some time and keep poking around the comcast for another deal. I use Dial91 for India calls, Its working out to be too good.[/QUOTE]

    I think it all depends on how much you spend on something. In all honesty I dont think i will be able to do a $50 grocery budget for me and DH and a 3 year old.

    What coupon apps do you use? how to print coupons without installing any software on computer?

    Another tip: I use raise dot come to buy discounted gift cards which i use to at walmart and many other stores. Whole food market gift cards are at 14.7 % discount.
    Many a times I dont buy grocery untill i use all. The next day instead of veggies i use any of the pulses. Also for backup i keep some cut veggies in the freezer...in this way we will end up spending less on groceries.

    rcvmegas, I use raise.com a lot. This super easy to order discounted gift cards through their app.

    I used to do couponing extensively, now with limited time I no longer do it. Instead, I'm using apps such as Flipp, and Instacart that help us save both time and money. Talked more about it in my blog.
