For those who’re new right here, I follow the Purchase Forward Precept — which signifies that what we purchase every week is usually for future weeks. We replenish on the most effective offers and markdowns every week and that signifies that we then have quite a lot 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 boost our grocery finances to $100 every week as a result of I’ve not been having sufficient wiggle room to replenish like I’d wish to. This quantity will nonetheless problem me to be inventive whereas additionally giving me sufficient respiration room to replenish and proceed to follow the Purchase Forward Precept.
Along with practising the Purchase Forward Precept, I Reverse Meal Plan. Which means that I plan primarily based upon what now we have available plus what good gross sales/markdowns I discovered on the shops. (Learn extra about Reverse Meal-Planning right here.)
