I spent $62 on groceries at Kroger final week, so I had $8 further to spend on groceries this week.
When you’re new right here, I follow the Purchase Forward Precept — which implies that what we purchase every week is usually for future weeks. We top off on one of the best offers and markdowns every week and that implies that we then have a wide range of objects from earlier procuring journeys to make use of to plan a menu from.
With the rise in grocery costs, I’ve determined to lift our grocery funds as a result of I’ve not been having sufficient wiggle room to top off like I’d need to. So beginning subsequent week, I’ll be elevating it to $100/week.
Along with training the Purchase Forward Precept, I Reverse Meal Plan. Which means I plan primarily based upon what now we have readily available plus what good gross sales/markdowns I discovered on the shops. (Learn extra about Reverse Meal-Planning right here.)
