New for 2012!!

Okay so this week I started a strict grocery budget.  I am shooting for $2080 for the WHOLE year!!  Thats roughly $40 per week, now this is going to take some EXTREME discipline...  I have gotten several things stockpiled in the last few months (like laundry detergent, shampoo, green beans and chili!) This goal is strictly for FOOD only!  I am attempting this because we do not get many food coupons out here in West Texas AND our whopping 2 grocery store here do not participate in very good sales (its practically a monopoly with United around here)  I plan on using Amazon.com too when possible.  I will do my best to update you with my journey.

Tuesday I got a jumpstart and spent $47.91 at United.  I did get 2 bags of Lays and 1 Tostitos for $2 each (this is a rule at our house--we don't buy chips unless they are $2.50 or less)  and I had a coupon for $1 off of milk.  So I saved some but not a whole lot.  I will buy several bags of chips and put the extras in the freezer.  Oh and the hubs' tuna is regularly $1.09/can and it was on sale for $.83, so I grabbed several!  I'm hoping I can stay on track between coupons and sales.  In doing this kind of shopping I'm also hoping that I can improve on my meal planning skills!!

Wish me luck Peeps!!

  1. I was just looking for this information for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your site. I wonder what's the lack of Google strategy that don't rank this type of informative sites in top of the list. Usually the top sites are full of garbage.
