If you've followed my blog for a while, you know I'm a huge fan of saving money at the grocery store. Lately I've had some interesting conversations with people about their grocery budgets that made me think (and tweet). If you're looking for a way to trim your general household expenses, the best and easiest… Continue reading Menu Planning On A Budget

Saving On Household Supplies {Menu Monday}
Before we get into the usual Monday discussion of shopping and menu planning - I have an announcement! Yesterday we had roast chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, and I filmed my gravy making process! That post and video will be up on Wednesday, so be sure and come back for that! This week I… Continue reading Saving On Household Supplies {Menu Monday}
Braving Aldi {Menu Monday}
When I was growing up, grocery shopping was usually a family event. We all got in the van and rode to County Market or Walmart for a fun time of walking the aisles and filling the grocery cart. I always enjoyed grocery shopping with my family - unless we ended up at Aldi. Horrors. Everyone… Continue reading Braving Aldi {Menu Monday}
Family Favorites {Menu Monday}
Happy Monday! The last few times I've shared a picture of my Sunday dinner plate (like this one) I've gotten questions about how I make gravy. It's a little hard to write a recipe for gravy, so the next time I make gravy I will film it and share my process on the blog. Until then,… Continue reading Family Favorites {Menu Monday}
Fun Times For The Grocery Nerd {Menu Monday}
I'm such a grocery nerd. I love everything about grocery shopping...especially saving money on groceries. If I've only talked to you once, we probably talked about grocery shopping (or cats) in the first few minutes of our conversation. It just happens. I'm not alone - it's not unusual to have a phone conversation with my sister… Continue reading Fun Times For The Grocery Nerd {Menu Monday}
Ingles Grocery Haul + Predictable Grocery Sales {Menu Monday}
This week's grocery haul is proof that shopping the sales cycle is a predictable and easy way to save money! My Timehop app sent me this Instagram, posted almost a year to the day I bought this week's groceries. Five of the items in that picture were purchased on the same sale/coupon matchup I saw… Continue reading Ingles Grocery Haul + Predictable Grocery Sales {Menu Monday}
Ingles Grocery Haul + Nana’s Green Beans {Menu Monday}
Happy Monday! I'm back from a wonderful week of vacation that included several days with my grandparents in Kentucky. My Nana is a wonderful cook. We had some really delicious meals during my visit (and doesn't she set a beautiful table?). One night she served fresh green beans that were so good I asked to… Continue reading Ingles Grocery Haul + Nana’s Green Beans {Menu Monday}
Aldi Grocery Haul + Menu Monday
Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend celebrating Independence Day. One of the things I love about America is the incredible shopping opportunities - if one store doesn't have what you want, drive another mile and there's another store with different prices and options! That was the case for me this week. My… Continue reading Aldi Grocery Haul + Menu Monday
Menu Monday + Costco and Ingles Grocery Haul
This week's menu features a lot of fresh produce and some simple meals! I hit both Costco and Ingles and managed to only go $5 over budget. And yeah, we ditched Paleo and have not looked back! 🙂 https://youtu.be/T2WY3c5QL2U On The Menu Breakfast: Strawberry Bread Fresh Fruit Eggs and Bacon Banana Muffins Lunch: Leftovers Sandwiches… Continue reading Menu Monday + Costco and Ingles Grocery Haul
Menu Monday + A Change In Plans
I have a very exciting announcement...we have forsaken the Paleo diet! We struggled for six weeks but ultimately decided it did not work for our lifestyle. I'm proud of my husband for giving it his best effort - even for deciding to do it in the first place (it was all his idea)! We're going… Continue reading Menu Monday + A Change In Plans
