Grocery Shopping
Food costs money. A lot of money when you add it all up. I don't like it. I don't mind grocery shopping at all because it gets me out of the house and it actually clears my head a little bit. But once I get into the check out line and start to kind of add the food up in my head, I start to panic and I begin to think if there is anything that I can put back that I don't absolutely need. Bad news is, I usually need it all! While I am looking at everything I am about to buy, I think, "this stuff is going to last me a long time!" Wrong again. A week later I find myself back at Wal-Mart buying some of the same stuff and I wonder how one person can go through so much in a week. I also find myself making another list once I get home of things I've forgotten on this trip...frustrating! Does anyone have ideas as to how to not spend so much money every week and still have enough food to last more than a week???

WOW.....SCARY STUFF....YOU SOUND SO JUST LIKE ME!!!
ReplyDeleteTry going to Crest instead of Walmart. That is where we started shopping and have saved money. They have all the name brand items too.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it helped us when we would sit down and make a list of what we were going to eat for the week, like a menu. We even included snacks. We didn't necessarily have to eat it in the order that we wrote it down, but it kept us on track and kept us from using too much or not eating what we had. Just having a plan written down made me more aware of what we were spending and how to use it efficiently.
