Each Sunday I will post my shopping plan for the week ahead.
I'm asked how I get by with a very tiny grocery budget. It's not easy, that's for sure, but there are some little tips and tricks that ease the challenge and, when it comes down to it, it's exciting to watch the grand total go down, down, down.
There are great blogs out there that will guide one through grocery and drug store deals. I use them and couldn't do without them. Because those blogs are so thorough I'm not going to repeat their information here, at least not in total, and will just post what I plan to buy.
Please link to your shopping plan in the comments, if you're inclined.
Publix
Pears are $.89 lb. I'm happy.
DiGornio Cheese is BOGO @ $4.79. "Like" Digornio on FB for a $2 coupon. After printing the coupon hit the "back" button and print it again (you can almost always print coupons twice)
GM Cereal (Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Trix, Cocoa Puffs, Golden Grahams) are BOGO @ $3.59. Coupons will bring the per box price down to a bit over $1 each
CVS
Sunday-Tuesday only
Candy Corn, Autumn Mix, Pumpkins $.99 bag, $.99 ECB
Pumpkin Carving Tools $2.49, $2.49 ECB
I'm not planning to do much shopping this week, and will instead be shopping the freezer.
