Not only have I been cooking. I have been shopping BELOW my grocery budget the last two paydays and have actually been able to stock up on a couple of things as well.
Regular refridgerator stuff but I was able to get hubby a few sodas that I wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise...
I bought 3 packages of chicken, 1 pkg ground turkey and 3 extra gallons of milk since they were on sale.
Normal household stuff and travel sized toiletries for Michael.
Ok, so my normal grocery/household budget is $250 every 2 weeks. I challenged myself to lower it to $200. Last payday I went over, so this weekend I gave myself $225 to spend, here's how I did.
I spent $45 of it last weekend at Walgreen's buying this stuff...3 months worth of shampoo, 1 month of diapers and wipes, 1 month of toothpaste, and makeup and haircoloring for me which I never would have bought if I hadn't saved money elsewhere.
I then spent around $150 on the stuff above pictured above. All this totalling roughly $195. And, I still have $30 to spend if I need it:)
My BEST deals this payday are:
Staples was running their back to school sale last week and I got these school supplies for a whopping $2.44 after tax!
Are there any tricks or secrets you have that you want to share? I'm hoping to teach other's that aren't doing so already, how to feed their family on take care of their household by saving as much money as possible!
