I only shop sales each week. Most all families have certain meals they make on repeat. I made a list of those meals and then a list of all the items required to make those meals. Most all items on the list are shelf stable or can be preserved by freezing. For example… lasagne uses meat, cheese, noodles and sauce, same for spaghetti. All of those ingredients can be bought in bulk when it’s at its lowest price and either kept in the pantry or in the freezer. Cheese freezes beautifully!! I shop for groceries like I shop for my couponing items. I have a stockpile so I never have to pay full price for food items and I always have the ingredients for meals we make on repeat on hand at all times unless it calls for fresh produce, which most all vegetables can be frozen. I’m not a meal planner and because I keep my pantry, fridge and freezer well stocked with all the ingredients needed to make our regular meals, I am able to make a decision on dinner the day of and if something crazy happens and we can’t get to the store, have a job loss or there are empty shelves like we are starting to see more often then I know my family will have food on hand. I stock a years worth of food at all times and we rotate through it. And no I did not buy that much all at once. I slowly stocked up as the items we use went on sale. I love having a food stockpile just like I love having a personal care, household items and paper goods stockpile. I do buy fresh produce as needed each week along with milk and any items we use that are on sale to keep my pantry/freezer full. I also pressure can and buy fresh produce in bulk when it’s on sale to can and put in my pantry. You mentioned potato soup. We love potato soup and make it often. Potatoes are on sale this week for a great price. I will buy up enough to make at least 6-8 pots of potato soup and pressure can them and have them on my shelf ready
for potato soup. It makes my life so much easier!!

Red rice makes an excellent ground beef substitute or extender
FYI wanted to make an item with cream cheese. Walmart had a plastic tub of CC for almost $7. Needless to say we did not make that item. 🤣🤣

My 16 year old eats more then my boyfriend and I combined…lol..but I'm grateful he is healthy and growing.
Meal planning was a huge game changer for me. Huge!
Chicken noodle soup is huge in my house during winter and I make enough to freeze a large portion for nights where we are busy. We also recently starting buying a whole cow with my MIL and SIL and we put it in a deep freezer, it is a huge money saver and we qre supporting local farmers.
I write my list in the order of the store layout, it helps me stay on task and not forget things. My first stop is always ALDI then Walmart and Publix. I hate going to so many stores but doing this has saved me a ton of money.
I always buy meat in bulk, once you start doing it it becomes easy. I find it much easier to have everything on hand and only have to shop for produce on a weekly basis.
IBotta and Fetch is where I get all my Christmas money from.

Meal planning is so huge! As is a list. I meal plan around whatever meat is on sale (I shop at Kroger mostly).
