However, it can be an easy budget category to manage, but it takes some planning, skill, and organization. These are strategies I use weekly to help keep my grocery bill in line with our budget. Thaw as needed.

February’s homework was to clean out and organize the refrigerator, freezer, and kitchen pantry. I tackled those projects early in the month and wrote about them: 5 Easy Steps to an Organized Pantry and Clean Your Refrigerator. I did something different this month and used cash instead of my debit card.
