Slashing Grocery Bills
by Rachael Paxton
I used to not pay attention to grocery prices much at all.

My husband and I paid off $20,000 of credit card debt and medical bills in 5 years on an average income of $22,000 a year. Here is how you can save over $7,000 in just one year cutting a few things from your...
