This morning I shuffled my routine a bit to do my weekly
grocery shopping earlier than usual. I needed to stock up on some meat, and I
have found that when I shop early, I can usually get some good deals on meat
that has been “Reduced for Quick Sale.” Thankfully, I was able to get enough
meat for the next couple of weeks for a great price.
I am often asked what I spend on groceries per week. But, I
always hesitate to share that because every family is so different. What is a
comfortable budget for me and my family may not be a comfortable budget for you
and your family. Some people are alarmed at what we spend. That alarm can go
either way, alarm that we spend so much or alarm that we spend so little.
On Friday, I will tell you about a book that I have been
reading that catalogs how much families spend on food each week. Do you dare to reveal your numbers? If so, please
join the You Can Make That! Facebook Group and post how many people you feed and
how much you spend each week.

Great tip, I always miss the marked down meat because I can never head to the store before 10 or 11. Someday maybe, when the kids get on the bus earlier.
ReplyDeleteMy kids get on the bus at 7:00, so I am able to get out early if I need too. However, I would much prefer to sleep in a little later!
