I also do a menu for the week and only go to the grocery store once a week. I also found out that some of my stores do their inventory on Thursday night so there are a lot of things on sale Friday morning....so that has become my shopping day and I've gotten quite a few good deals this way. I also cook from scratch, buy in bulk, have a garden and can/freeze a lot of food too! It's all about planning :) Thanks for the great information Miz Helen, I look forward to reading more!Lisa @ Flour Me With Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650367830239917459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439431739381894308.post-50316220244620996922013-01-22T08:37:39.238-06:002013-01-22T08:37:39.238-06:00Hi Miz Helen,

We eat healthy meals and I try to buy fresh veggies and fruit and avoid processed foods. I do buy most items on sale-seasonal produce and I see the sales are cyclical for chicken, etc. I also get points for gas purchases-which saves me money. And, I charge my groceries and get a cash back bonus every month. I also shop on my way home from the gym, since I'm passing by-I'm not making an additional trip out.<br />I'm curious what does a family of 4 spends a week on groceries?<br />Great post, by the way! Looking forward to the next one.poppilinnstudioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06268807099271196838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439431739381894308.post-72899103042109248772013-01-22T08:34:14.349-06:002013-01-22T08:34:14.349-06:00 I enjoyed reading your post, you shared some wond...
