One thing I found helpful when I started getting serious about saving money at the grocery store was meal planning. Since there generally aren’t coupons for every part of a meal, namely produce and meat, it becomes important to watch prices and stock up when there are good sales on these items. I used to be really good about writing out a weekly meal list based on the sales, and on my local mom’s group forum, we would share our weekly meal plans to get ideas for dinner. I have more recently not been real good about planning, so I figured it was time to start it up again. I typically do a meal plan Sunday through Saturday, because I get a new Bountiful Basket on Saturday, then shop Sunday morning for ingredients I need for meals with the items in my basket. Please feel free to share your weekly meal plans too!
