Thanks, couch surfing! Grocery Shop. I know grocery shopping doesn’t sound like a lot of fun when you go away on vacation (you’re probably dreaming about not having to do that!), Even buying pre-made salads and entrees at the grocery store is substantially cheaper than eating out.

I plan my menu on Sunday afternoons when I have the new week’s grocery flyer in front of me. I try to keep my large weekly grocery shopping to one store unless there are some loss-leaders elsewhere. Plan your menu around what is on sale at the grocery store that week. Thanks for reading. Plan for all seven days.

When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. You’ll be thankful later. The freezer can be an important tool to saving money at the grocery store and it’s not just for saving leftovers. There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list.
