That really helps keep me on track and not buying things I don't need. I have noticed food sizes going down (though I blame food manufacturers rather than the stores) but like Suzy, I try to do the bulk of my shopping at local farmers markets.

What I do not only saves me money but also saves time is to sign up for the sales emails. I'll check my email right before I leave work so I know exactly what to buy when I stop by. I typically shop at food lion, partially because I am able to buy my usuals for a cheaper price, but also because getting the weekly email makes it a lot easier to get the deals. Hope this helps!

I found a local farm to buy my milk/chicken/beef from and I buy my produce at the local farmer's markets and grow some of my own. I occationally make a trip to my local health food store, but I buy enough in bulk so I don't have to do buy once every 6 weeks or so. This is exactly why I quit going to the grocery store.
