I am proud to say that we cut our grocery bill in HALF. HALF!! :)
Good job, Camille! How'd you do it???
Shopped the sales and got our veggies at the local farmer's market. By omitting what I call "craving purchases" (ooooh, a bag of ruffles wouldn't be so bad) and buying the store-brand items, it was easier than I thought it would be! Meal planning makes all of this so much easier!
