I started creating my menu in February to, hopefully, save some money. In January I spent $775.59 on groceries for the month. (WOW, right?) Well my venture has been successful. For the month of March I have spent $391.23!!! A savings of nearly $400 dollars!!
To all who do the grocery shopping in the family I would suggest planning your meals. This has been a huge time and money saver for our family. Feel free to take from my menu each week. I will be better about posting our meals.
Happy Saturday!
*side note: We do not go out to eat, so the money we were spending on food was strictly from the grocery store.

Wow that is so awesome!!! Way to go! I have vowed to be a better planner in April. And to stick to the plan!
Wow! How crazy that you guys saved that much money!!! It's amazing!! I have been tracking our spending on groceries, too, ever since I saw you starting to do it. We spend about $450 a month, which isn't too bad considering we are a family of four. :) Thanks for the great idea!
HOLY COW!! Did you have steak every night?! :) Way to go Julie. I started planning my meals just recently for a young woman goal (I am a leader) and it has helped everything to go so much more smoothly at that time of day - which is usually the most hectic in my house. Thanks for your example!
That's amazing! Way to go! One day when we are normal people living on our own again I hope I can be as good as you about doing this.
