Am I the only one who thinks "shop the sales" advice is useless when you get paid every two weeks?

I was in line at the Save Mart on Blackstone last Tuesday and heard this woman tell her friend she feeds her family on $40 a week by only buying what's on sale. Sounds nice, but my check lands on the 1st and the 15th, so the chicken thighs are always full price by the time I get there. I'm not mad at her, I'm mad that nobody ever says how to do this when your cash shows up on a fixed day. What do you all do when the good deals hit midweek and you're broke till Friday?
