I so know menu planning is the way to go, but this is my huge down fall as a homemaker. I neeeed to get on top of this!

Good luck! I usually only shop for two weeks at a time…it saves me ten million little trips to the grocery store. But I can see how doing one bulk shopping trip would be beneficial to your family…For you, it’s probably a little more difficult to just “run out to the store” for a few things.

I do my best shopping by watching each weeks sales. You over spend by shopping just once a month because especially meat cycles in how much it goes for at a regular grocery store and sometime Costco’s is much more expensive in the meat department unless you are buying steak. I clip coupons and ad match. $600 is a crazy amount of money to eat off of. No wonder you live on only 50% of your income. The best deals I find are at Kroger, Target and by buying in bulk. There is nothing like having 60 cans of something lying around!

I do better with weekly shopping trips, personally. Although there is prolly no good reason. I just make sure to go after WW so I don’t spend all my money on junk food! haha

Ah, the pink pasta sounds great. I love how easy pasta is. It’s always my go-to when I (shock!) forget to menu plan or (shock again!) forget to thaw my meat out for the planned meal…Which happens more often than I’d like to admit…

I think it’s so cool that you are planning a month’s worth of meals. I can just manage to plan a week’s worth. I ought to keep track of everything we eat for the month of March and how often we’re eating it. That would be a start.

We have 5 kiddos and 1 on the way. I’ve always wondered about a monthly meal plan and how much that would cost.

I need to start shopping at the commisary again. I got out of the habit when gas prices got so expensive.

Thanks for posting your menus. I really appreciate it.
