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!

Meal Plan - January 4 - January 17

In an effort to live more frugally, I'm going to try to go to the grocery store every other week instead of every week. Why is it when you run in for something "quick" (like lettuce or milk) you end up with another $50 worth of groceries? It must end!

(I understand these menus are pretty boring & not too creative...but at least we'll have meals for two weeks...and the thinking part is already done.)
