The Frugal Girl

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023

What I Spent So I went to pull together my grocery spending for the week and I realized that it’s all quick trips to Safeway. This is better than endless nights of eating out, but definitely not as frugal as an organized trip to Aldi. I spent $63 at Safeway, spread out between an embarrassing number of trips.

My #1 tip for trimming grocery spending is an easy one: Serve simple, frugal, scheduled meals. A few years ago, I heard my Pastor’s wife list off the meals that they eat on certain days of the week. Having a routine keeps me scheduled so that I don’t forget to prep something and end up tempted to eat out.
