As the home manager, my mission is to serve my family quality and tasty food on our limited budget. GIANT Food Stores of PA has been part of my weekly grocery shopping routine for years.

Create a Meal Plan. Food is usually our the biggest expenditure during our vacation and thankfully our beach condo will have a kitchen. We travel with my extended family, so my mom and I will sit down before the trip and talk about a meal plan. For dinner, we''ll plan to eat in on 5 nights and eat out 2 nights.
