Savings at grocery was $95.56!
Hey all! Just a little bit of info about my grocery visit the other day. I ended up saving a whopping $95.56!!! Not too shabby for about 2 hours prep time. I know alot of you don't think you have time to prep but really if you think about it you do. Everything can be done on your computer, making your menu and list and gathering coupons. The total I spent was $150.35 and the amount of groceries will easily last a couple of weeks in addition to having lots extras that will start my stockpile effort. My old grocery budget was $200 every two weeks so my plan with my extra $50 I have left over is to check their ad next week and ONLY buy items that are offered with the DEEP discounts. If they are not offereing anything with deep discounts that we will use or any money I don't use will be put back. After about a month or two of this I expect my grocery budget to be drasticly reduced because everytime I shop will only be the deep discounted items. What is also really nice about seriously preparing and saving at the grocery is it really doesn't take that much time and my pantry and freezer are much fuller than when you don't prepare. You can stockpile items and there will be times where you can even skip your grocery shopping and maybe take the money and go enjoy a special weekend away! We really enjoy vacations so that is what I usually stash the money away for that way when we are on vacation we don't have to worry about the budget or oh we shouldn't do this or that because it costs too much. Anyone have suggestion or comments you are more than welcome to post. Thanks and have a great day!
