Grocery Tips!

Just sat down with hubby and planned out our meals for the week! We have learned so much and we have DROPPED our grocery bill from $250-300 a week to $100-$150.

Here are some tips I can share with you!

✔️ Buy less boxes & more REAL foods!

✔️ Circle the perimeter of the store rather than the aisles

✔️ Have a plan! (It takes 15 minutes to make a list , if you have at least your dinners planned you will be less opt to grab random stuff )

✔️ Weekly staples such as milk , eggs , cheese don't change much

✔️ Don't go to the grocery store hungry 😜

✔️ Have a budget (we take the cash in hand, we know what everything costs and we DON'T go over )

✔️ Don't take the kids! If you can , go alone or with just 1 kid, you will be in and out quicker and they like to get you off task ! (Mommy can I have this , can I have that ?)

✔️ Look at your cart at the end and pick out 3-5 items that wandered into your cart that you don't really need 😬

✔️ Allow some treats & fun but don't go overboard

✔️ Remember there is always next week , if you see something you like , put it on the plan for next week!

Hope this helps ! 😃
