One of the common pieces of advice that people have typically offered regarding food budgeting is that you should shop the food ads. But now that gas is so expensive, it definitely has to be factored into the equation. Sure, I might save on some items by driving to a store that I typically wouldn't patronize, but is going out of my way really going to save me that much money?<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-151568">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Marguerite – absolutely.
