Remember when you could shop at the market of your choice, load up on appealing items and leave with enough money to feel satisfied? With the economic downturn and rocketing product prices, it's time to get creative, hold down prices, but splurge where it counts.

Shop money saving stores like SuperWalmart, Price Rite, and Market Basket, to name a few, for produce, meats, name brand staples and some of their own brands. My favorite store is Hannefords an outfit out of Maine, which is like a mid-priced Whole Foods that sells and promotes locally grown products, but I can't afford to shop there for everything anymore. So where's the living large part?
Trader Joe's just opened a new store in Patriot Place in Foxboro. Check it out, or try the Warwick or Hanover location. Food is awesome, prices are low and it really is the 'in ' place to shop now. All you need are a few item from there, and a few goodies from Whole Foods to brighten up your menus. It's just learning to blend value with luxury.
