November 2009 Grocery Plan

I budget $300 to feed our family of four.

I use the following strategies:

  • I buy items to fill our pantry as they go on sale (Pantry Principle)
  • I don't always buy or cook things that I *really* want - I cook what is available
  • I buy very little cold cereal
  • I don't buy very many convenience items
  • We eat beans and rice at least once per week
  • I plan a LOT!!!

Our budget either stays at $300 per month or I go and get a job which would add a tremendous amount of stress to our home and family life.

Saving money is one of my main goals as I manage our home. One of the biggest areas of my budget I can do this in is at the grocery store.
