Menu Monday

I went to both Sam's and Kroger this weekend, and I think I bought enough groceries to last us at least 3 weeks! I will still have to purchase milk and some fresh fruit probably once, but the bulk of the shopping has been done! I will repeat some of the suppers to make the groceries last 3+ weeks. I am trying to work towards shopping at Sam's once a month, and Kroger once or twice a month. I already go to Walmart only once a month (for non-food items).

My shopping plans may be changing in the future! I had two friends (Jennifer and Lynn) over Friday, and Jennifer inspired Lynn and me to start using coupons. Jennifer is saving major money by using coupons and sale papers! She went to a class taught by two of our local money savers and coupon queens, Anita and Penny. I used to use coupons, but stopped several years ago. It just seemed like too much trouble to save $5, and I found that I was not finding coupons for items that I already actually used. But Jennifer has opened my eyes to a whole new world of coupon clipping and saving money! I even ordered two sets of coupons from ebay! So, as I learn more about this coupon business, and as I hopefully begin to save money, I will post my success!
