I think… I HOPE that Fall is coming a little early in my part of the world. Temps have been cooler lately, partially due to the rainy afternoons we have experienced this year. I am really kicking myself for not planting a garden, but I thought it would be dry again.
Regardless, football season is here and soon pumpkins will be arriving at the store. So, I plan to clean my oven and enjoy some slow-cooked, simple dinners this month.
Hello! I don’t live in the US and so we can’t use coupons. anyway, I was wondering what your average grocery bill is. Do you mind divulging that info? For food, we do our best to spend around $80 a week for a family of 5 (small children). I love your menu, but I was trying to see if I could afford to copy it! 🙂 Thanks so much!!
We were just talking about this in our Facebook community. My budget is $400 a month but this includes the items I use to make my cleaners and toiletries. I can save a ton by purchasing the items when they are at their lowest price and stockpiling. Then, I make my menu from what is in my stockpile. You can learn all about this in my ebook, Advanced Penny Pinching, which is on sale for Kindle this week for only $0.99.
I have the book! 🙂 I do stockpile somewhat but we don’t have have club shopping close by and there are RARELY sales on meat and cheese. We only eat meet 3 times a week so I’m looking forward to working from your menu for some creative and inexpensive meals. Like a said, we can’t use coupons 🙁 and getting creative with meals becomes a challenge. Thanks!!
My pleasure, Jenny. One thing Bill and I were talking about earlier today… We are thinking about letting our club membership expire and just using Amazon.com. I don’t know if the Subscribe and Save program works overseas but we find the price very comparable and they often have online coupons you can use on top of the Subscribe and Save price.
