Family Balance Sheet

I try to keep my large weekly grocery shopping to one store unless there are some loss-leaders elsewhere. Menu planning saves me money.

used my Receipt Reference Technique to save money on food and plan for her future purchases in three easy steps. Sometimes I take a bag of vegetables from the freezer versus the fresh vegetables which go bad a lot sooner. It reminds me to go grocery shopping if I see that many of the items are checked off. It all adds up!
