Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 28, 2022

As my kids have grown into teenagers who eat as much as adults, I spend about $800-1000/month–this includes anything I buy at the grocery store, so it includes paper and cleaning products. Batch cooking: Buy in bulk, batch cook, and freeze in portion sizes. Seriously, my kids claim hunger ALL.DAY.LONG. Stock Up on Loss Leaders.

If remembering all of those numbers is too much, create a note on your phone or write your ‘buy’ price for your staples on a single sheet of paper that you can keep in your bag. Buy in Bulk and Freeze in Portion Sizes. The holidays, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter are a fantastic time to stock up on meat.

While I have success finding coupons in the Sunday paper and online printing sources, like Coupons.com for hygiene, paper, and cleaning products, food is another story. I don’t find too many coupons for foods that we eat and I only save about $3-5 in paper coupons on each weekly shopping trip, which is hardly extreme.
