SAVE MONEY ON GROCERIES

GROCERY SHOPPING

1.) I try to plan my meals for the next two weeks. I write down at least 10 days' worth, figuring that there will probably be some leftovers from the day before. I've also discovered that I need to either warm the leftovers up for dinner the next night to use them up or stick them in freezer. If I do not, it will get lost in there and I will find it later all nasty. I then take my list and write down all the ingredients that I might not have in my home. You can also use Kraft's site. www.kraftfoods.com You can add your recipe in there to keep track of them and then you can even print of your shopping list, subtracting the ingredients you already have.
2.) I try to get only the stuff on my list, unless something is such a great deal I can't pass it up. I use my pricebook to see which stores are cheapest and what brands are the cheapest. I use the calculator on my cell phone to see what the price is per individual item / pound / ounce. I also budget out $50 a week for groceries and I go to the ATM at my bank (do not use other banks - why give them your money?) and get exactly that amount.
