Newsflash: Grocery shopping is ongoing. Let's just say I am stocking up on BOGO's and sale itemswhereas before I was buying whatever we needed, hoping it was on sale but buying it regardless.
Now there is a bit more planning with shopping lists, a coupon or two (digital and peelies) and some kind of menu planning.
I would like to think that grocery costs will be more reasonable in the future...or I will continue to feel the need to stock up with the BOGO's. I don't know, but I am hopeful.
Here are the numbers as of today. Sheesh.
Next month I will have something to compare it with, that's keeping it positive, right?

To Date Grocery $424.67

That is about it from here. I shop and I cook. Truth be told, I am enjoying it.
Before I landed here, I bought about 90% of my food bogo, sales, coupons. That way, I always ate cheaper than if I had bought what I needed at the moment. How many people do you feed?
ReplyDeleteMy husband and myself,and several times a week, my daughter, her husband and two kids eat dinner with us. They live n an RV on our property. Sounds weird, but we definitely have the land for it. My son in law cooks a couple days a week too. There is balance. I think eventually the grocery spending will taper down. Fingers crossed.
