Last post of the year, and I’ve just looked back to see when I first started this odd hobby. It’s been over five years. That’s amazing to me. Five years! The downtown skyline was completely different then! There were no scooters! Was there even P. Terry’s?

During that time, I’ve posted about a few different topics aside from the roundups. There was the family dinner/meal planning scoring. There was a while where I tried to follow keeping up with shopping frugally AND organically. For a short time, I had a weekly post about the goofiest thing at Trader Joe’s.

For now, I seem to be able to manage the weekly round-up and not much else. I do snap a lot of photos in grocery stores: random deals and things that strike me as funny. I may work on posting these on Instagram, which seems to be where most food bloggers are, as my ongoing hatred of unit pricing inconsistency doesn’t need more blog posts.

Or maybe it does. We shall see what 2020 brings. I hope it finds and keeps you well, Cheepsters! Here’s the list:
