Bullet list: making a grocery list

Meal plan work sheet.   

• When making your work sheet ( this one was done on an excell spread sheet ) add the perishable items that you  use on a regular basis on the left  column- type the list  to be a master list . 
• Write your meal plans based on your matrix and protein you have on hand.   
• Check your stock in the fridge and check off what you have.   Add what you will need to make your meals in the right column  . Star anything in the left column that you need to use up.   
• Attach a post it note to your work sheet.   Check the pantry and mark anything that has a 25-50 percent shortage and wrote it on the list it note.    This is a watch list.   You are going to check the sale ads for a good price.   If you don't find one, stick the list on next weeks work sheet.   If you do, cross that thing off the post a note.   
• Gather the sale ads.  Of you don't have all the stores you shop at consider looking at a app on your computer or phone    List the things or circle the things that are at RBP that : a) you need to stock, 2) that you can use to fill in the sides for your meal plan or 3) the one protein item that is going to be your rotation protein,   Buy enough for a months worth of that particular meal.   If you eat beef once a week, you will buy enough for four meals.   
• Study at least two stores, preferably two that are noted for good buys and near each other or near places you will go that week to maximize your gas expense,   
• Bring your list, ( you can cut that section off the worksheet or copy the sheet) any couponsnyou might have , and your bags of your town requires them.   
• Go to the store with blinders , only buying what is on your list. Do keep an eye out for clearance tables or specials that are truly a good sale.    
• Know your orices of the things that you buy on a regular basis.   Don't go over your target price unless ot os something you just can't do without.     
• Being a small calculated so you can do the math.   Even stores like Costco will tell you the price per pinch, not the price per pound.    I keep a zipper pouch on my coupon binder that has a pen, a calculater and a small pair of scissors to cut in store coupons if I need to.
