There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list. When I plan a menu, my spending is generally under control. When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. Batch cooking: Buy in bulk, batch cook, and freeze in portion sizes.

Maybe you don’t want to cook at all during your vacation or maybe eating out for every meal is beyond what your budget can handle.

I use them regularly when we eat out at restaurants, and I will not shop at a department store without one, but grocery coupons are completely different for me. If you plan for your grocery trip, you should be able to stay on track. When I don’t plan, I am sure to blow our budget. Yeah, that is not me.
