How do you handle your grocery's for a month? I subscribe to Rachel Ray and Taste of Home Magazines.. and always find great recipes that don't call for many more ingrediants than we have stocked in the pantry. We have $300 dollars a month for groceries, for a family of 5. (alothough many nights we end up feeding more- when family memebers stop by) I was only going to the grocery store 1 time a month- but that isn't working because the fruit/veggies dont stay fresh.. so i need to start going more a month. How do you plan it? Do you go once a week? once every 2 weeks? Once a month? Also- how do you plan meals and stick to your budget. I find that when i come up with meals for everynight of the week every month- that not matter how cheap i try and keep it- the money and groceries only covers dinners- and then we end up skimping on lunches- no big deal during the week while kids are in school- but on weekends it's more of an issue. So what are some ideas/tips for me?
