Tuesday , the ads come out tonight in the mail. The coupons came out in the Sunday paper. I understand from researching, that if you wait a couple of weeks, you are better off matching coupons with sales. Many of the coupons are for ready mades and non food items. I am choosing to choose my coupoms wisely. I'm not buying just because there is a coupon or something is free.
Saving money at the grocery store is more about putting good nutricion on the table for less than the stats say you need. it's about providing your family an adequate, nutritious diet for less. By cooking from scratch, shopping to maximize savings, and planning, it can be achieved in less time than you think.
Batch cooking enables you to save time and clean up and buy meats when they are at their lowest in price. You can portion control the meat and have less waste. When it is time to cook dinner, the major time consuming part is already done, and your dinner time is less hectic. There are videos on u tube about cooking once for a month of dinners. Some of them set aside a specific meat or dish for a given day of the week. My mother did that for a time. We could tell you what day of the week it was by the dinner that was cooking on the stove. It got rather boring, and only lasted a few months. Now, my aunt that lived four doors down made cookies every Tuesday, we NEVER got tired of that !
It was soo unfortunate that we just had to pass her house on the way home from school!!! LOL LOL
The only thing wrong with writing a blog, is that you don't ever know your demographics, I don't know who is reading. Are they people that are victims of the recession? People on SNAP, retirees, young mothers? People that just want to get out of the kitchen faster or try a new recipe???
Tonight we tried chocolate waffles.....with bacon and mixed berry compote. Yumm
