The '6 to 1' grocery shopping method takes aim at skyrocketing food prices while maintaining a balanced diet (and allowing for the occasional indulgence).
So now that I've said that, let me offer a personal apology for ALSO being guilty of some of the no-no's on this list.
But to be honest, I find that most Texas people are very gracious when shopping. MOST. It would seem some didn't take 'People-ing 101.'
There are some behaviors many of us have seen that may immediately come to mind. Brazenly cutting in line is a HUGE no-no. That should be a given. Insulting people seems fairly obvious, but I've still seen it happen. Heaven help the person who goes after the last bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos when THESE people are nearby.
I don't know about you, but I want my trips to the grocery store to be quick and painless. Most of the time I only have to pick up a few items. So I don't get fully dressed to run to the store.
I might throw on some sweats, a ball cap, no makeup and some sandals

Peanut butter has been a staple for frugal food lovers for years, but a looming price increase could make it more of a luxury item before the end of the year.
Facing shortages after a dismal peanut harvest, producers have begun implementing steep price hikes, and consumers will start feeling the pinch this week — adding to a general rise in the cost of food throughout 2011.
These days, almost every store has one of those "Loyalty Cards" they want to scan.
They're great for saving money. But bad if you like keeping your private information private.
What to do?
