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. The post WIS, WWA | all Safeway appeared first on The Frugal Girl.

But the next one I cut open? SO disappointing. So much pit. But hey, at least the edible part was still perfectly ripe.

Did you know that meal planning is one of the keys to saving money on your grocery bill? I admit to completely dropping the ball with menu planning. I think I only wrote out a weekly menu twice in those two months. So, as you can imagine, things were even crazier due to my lack of planning. Photo Credit.
