Hello! I hope you are joining me again for another week of how to Feed your Family for less.
I know it seems like you may not be able to get that grocery bill lower but I really believe we all can.
For example I did my weekly grocery shopping trip for $13 this week. This is because of items I bought last week that I can still use and from stocking up on previous deals.
But… at the same time I didn’t even HAVE to buy some of those items this week.
So I really do think that we can all save a little more on our groceries. It just takes things that seem to be harder to follow through on today. I like to call them the 3 P’s!
1. Patience
2. Planning
3. Practice
