Okay so I have been on this mission to cut down our grocery bill, stock the pantry & frig and quit eating out so much (okay so that is really 3 missions!) But who isn't making small attempts at these things in this economy with high fuel and utilities soaring through the roof???
I have got to get back to doing my shopping every 2 or 3 weeks (except for milk & bread of course!) and buy more in bulk if I can. I have also been trying to rebuild my coupon stash that has slowly dewindled down to pretty much nothing.
So yesterday I sat down and made up a semi detailed grocery list of the things that I buy regularly and then I got on samsclub.com and wrote down the prices for everything. I then went on to figure the cost per pound, ounce, cup, etc. I think this will help me in doing more comparison shopping. Now I just need to get prices from say Wally World and United. I am really going to start working on the comparison shopping and price-matching; considering that this is something that I haven't ever really done. Except on large ticket items that is! So why not do it on stuff that we use every week or 2 weeks? Makes total sense to me!
I am hoping to share my experiences with you and if you have any thoughts or suggestion just send them on over my way! They will be greatly appreciated!
p.s. I will share my list with any that are interested in it...just let me know!!
Later Frugal Peeps!
