Do you:
1. thoughtfully plan out your shopping expedition?
2. bring coupons?
3. shop with cash only?
4. budget?
5. take your own bags?
6. shop at will or 1x or 2x, etc. monthly?
7. Get all of your groceries at one shop (or like meat one place; produce separately)?
What is the method to your madness in this category of life?
Presently we have cracked down on our monthly grocery budget and are going to try cash only grocery shopping this month. We have reusable bags but need to make more of an effort to use these on a consistent basis. We get mostly everything except (most) produce at the same grocery store. YES we try to take as many coupons as is allowed and that we can find but you will not find an extreme couponer in our household. The husband is actually pretty good at finding coupons on ebay (who knew?) for diapers, dogfood and some other items.
We are toying with the idea of doing a weekly grocery trip because it seems we've always left something out. This could probably be combatted with meal planning. Something we've done before but gotten away from (hmmm...might do this again).
Kudos to these blogs that are all about saving money in the food/grocery area of life:
