I had to make a quick trip to Target because our PUR faucet filter is squirting at us again!

Smith’s is having a Mix or Match Buy 10 event.  I am waiting till Thursday to hit that..  I will do some damage there and share with you.. :)

Organize your shopping

Another way to saving money and to be organized:

Create a Menu…
I created a two week menu of the meals my family will eat and add the ingredients it will require.

Here is an example:

Spaghetti – Hamburger, Spaghetti Noodles, Spaghetti Sauce, Potatoes, Garlic Bread

Stew – Hamburger, potatoes, carrots, celery, corn, green beans.

Tamale pie – hamburger, taco seasoning, corn, tomato sauce.

Well you get the idea. I usually plan 11 meals, 2 leftover nights and one fast food night out.

Check all your ingredients with your pantry. You might already have what you need.

Next…

Create a shopping list
My list is organized by the layout of the store. That way I almost never miss something on the list. I will also highlight the items I have coupons for.
