We found this series about grocery shopping by a group of bloggers with larger families, and we thought it was pretty cool that they shared their perspectives and tips on grocery shopping.  If you have a large family, you may already know of some of the extra challenges of planning to buy larger quantities of food, stretching the budget even more with smarter shopping, taking an entourage of kids with you on adventures to the grocery store, and spending up to half a day getting things bought and organized.  There are lots of good ideas for meal planning and grocery shopping that apply to any family.  Here are the blogs to check out:
