For those of you who may have been turned off or intimidated by Grocery Shopping on the Cheap 101, I thought I'd post an easier, less work-intensive version. I, myself, adopted this version of shopping after Cooper started his couponing habit. He was - uh, hem - a little enthusiastic at first and was bringing home so much food that I was forced to create menus around 12 lbs. of Velveeta and twenty loaves of bread. Now that he has calmed down a bit, I am free to once again plan and shop at my leisure.
Here is Condensed Soup for those of you who want to set and stick to a budget:
- Choose ONE store that you love the most or has the best deals for the week (still peruse the weekly circular)
- Plan your weekly menu
- Eat a snack before your weekly shopping
- Remember to look for good produce deals & discounted meat
- ***ONLY BUY WHAT YOU NEED***
There it is! Hard, eh?!
I best flit off to prepare this upcoming week's menu.
Happy Cooking!
