So our finances have changed and well I didn't have to really think about meal planning or how much I was spending at the store. Well now I do again so here I am going to do my first meal plan plus shopping list plan but there is only one problem...I don't feel like it.
We also have turned into a one car family so on Thursday's I get to borrow my dad's car for a mom's group day at the movies and while I have it I try to get a few other things done that need to be done. Today we did the movies and now I need to go to the library and the grocery store.
I'm going to get the ads, my coupon book, cookbooks, and paper so I can make my list!
Ok so with my coupons and just good deals I will buying this list.
Cantaloupe $.79
Cheez-Its $1.99 each when you buy 5 (not normally what I buy but we can't get organic right now)
Kellogg's Cereal $1.99 each when you buy 5 plus I have 2 coupons. One for $1 off 2 boxes and one for $1 off 3 boxes!
Gold Fish 5 for $5 Not sure I will actually get 5
Kroger Ice Cream 2/$5 (Hubby eats ice cream like crazy)
Mac & Cheese 4/$5
Hand Soap 5 for $5
Shampoo and Conditioner 2 for $5
Now I will do the rest of my list for food that I will cook with. Hopefully this will be a good amount of saving for us. I will post how I do!

The cost of groceries have really gone up. We live on a budget and are continually having to increase the food portion. I loathe shopping time. I scour the sale ads as well. I am too lazy to deal with coupons, though. I try to "meal plan" but planning anything is difficult when you have a baby to care for. Getting to the store is hard enough! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI did pretty good. I saved almost $60 in sales and coupons but I learned some important lessons. #1 I have to take the coupons out of my binder as I put the items in my basket because otherwise I will forget some (which I did). I will be heading back to King Soopers to use the coupons I forgot to use.
