I have started collecting prices on my list of kitchen essentials and have realized that it's a lot more effective to buy a set of pots and pans than individual pieces. I have only priced the list at one store so far, but hope to keep adding another one every day or two. The Black Friday madness and the rest of the weekend were not a good time to try to locate all the items within a store.
A few people have sent me some interesting links that I may share. Some were more keywords than useful information, though.
This government web page lists several other lists:

A few tips here on shopping, but nothing specific. A lot of info on how to sign up for benefits.

Remember to save any plastic containers with lids, such as the ones that lunch meat comes in! These will allow you to freeze portions and store leftovers, as well as to store foods in a bug-proof fashion!
More later - thanks for following me!
