If you happen to’re new right here, I follow the Purchase Forward Precept — which implies that what we purchase every week is usually for future weeks. We fill up 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 funds to $100 per week as a result of I’ve not been having sufficient wiggle room to fill up like I’d need to. This quantity will nonetheless problem me to be inventive whereas additionally giving me sufficient respiratory room to fill up and proceed to follow the Purchase Forward Precept.
Along with practising the Purchase Forward Precept, I Reverse Meal Plan. Because of this I plan based mostly 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.)

It was a brilliant full week this previous week, so I opted to do a grocery pickup order. I don’t get fairly as nice of offers this fashion — since I can’t store the markdowns and the patron doesn’t at all times get issues precisely proper so that every one my coupons come off the best way I envision — however it’s nonetheless a very good choice to fill up on sale objects!
We had $128 left within the grocery funds for this week and right here’s what I purchased:
I used to be particularly comfortable for the $5.99 luggage and blocks of cheese (32 ounces every) — I stocked up and acquired 7 luggage/blocks! We already had two huge luggage of cheese within the freezer, so we needs to be set on cheese for awhile!
