Saving Big Bucks

February 8th, 2009 at 07:29 pm

I went grocery shopping today with the girls. We spent $65 for a weeks worth of groceries!!

This is lower than our regular $110+ we usually spend. So, why the drop? DH will be out of town this week. No chips to buy, no excess diet coke, less meat. I also bought some of our regular items on sale and shopped the cabinets before making our list.

I've already planned our Valentine's Day dinner: manicotti, cresent rolls, broccoli and pound cake with strawberries (and a little cool whip on the side). I may break down and buy some wine later.

    Wow. That is a lot of money saved. I wonder if dh realizes if he were to do something like drink less diet coke or an off-brand, maybe it could help you a lot on your expenses.

    I wish he wouldn't drink diet coke for health reasons, but it isn't breaking the bank, so we let it go.

    It's funny because when I lived with my ex the grocery bill was so much higher, he had to have his chips, cokes oh and beer. I think it is a guy thing
