I think I am saving ALMOST HALF on my grocery bill by shopping & planning for two weeks at a time. I thoroughly stocked the freezer, fridge & pantry yesterday (General Mills cereals for $1.98; Corn Pops for $1.75; gallon of milk $1.98; chicken & ground turkey on sale!) and I have ingredients to make the above meals - plus a couple of extras - and I only spent $130. That is what I was spending sometimes for ONE week. Granted we have to make special trips during the week - primarily for milk (we now go through 2 gallons of 1% milk a week) but also for lunch meat, a few fresh fruits/veggies & whatever I'm craving (haha) but we did that when I was doing a 'big' shopping every week too. I'm excited about saving money! Only saved $12 in coupons yesterday but hey - I'll take it!
