For those who’re new right here, I apply the Purchase Forward Precept — which implies that what we purchase every week is commonly for future weeks. We refill on the most effective offers and markdowns every week and that implies that we then have a wide range of objects from earlier buying journeys to make use of to plan a menu from.
With the rise in grocery costs, I’ve determined to lift our grocery finances to $100 every week as a result of I’ve not been having sufficient wiggle room to refill like I’d need to. This quantity will nonetheless problem me to be artistic whereas additionally giving me sufficient respiratory room to refill and proceed to apply the Purchase Forward Precept.
Along with practising the Purchase Forward Precept, I Reverse Meal Plan. Which means I plan primarily based upon what we now have available plus what good gross sales/markdowns I discovered on the shops. (Learn extra about Reverse Meal-Planning right here.)

Right here’s what I purchased for $85 this week at Kroger…
I used to be enthusiastic about this sale on raspberries and blackberries.
Kellogg’s cereal was $1.79 + there’s a $1/2 digital coupon on the Kellogg’s rewards website! Additionally, you may get a free guide with free transport for each Kellogg’s product you purchase (as much as 10 free books!)
Gala apples had been on sale for $2.99 for a 3/lb bag. Eggs had been $2.79/dozen — which, sadly, I now think about an excellent deal! Kroger sausage (hyperlinks and patties) are $1.99 with the digital coupon (you possibly can stand up to five at this value).
The Kraft String Cheese is $2.79/bundle with the digital coupon (you possibly can stand up to five packages).
Apple juice is $1.29/bottle with the digital coupon (you possibly can stand up to five at that value).
We’ll both use the additional $15 left within the finances on an excellent deal that comes up or roll it to subsequent week.
