My new hobby is grocery shopping. I used to hate it with every fiber of my soul. Last summer, matt's aunt was talking about all the good deals she was getting at the grocery store. Well no one gets a good deal with out me. So I asked her all about it and started my own journey. Well by not spending any more than my usual $600 a month in groceries I have food coming out my eyeballs. I think we are about 2 months shy of our year supply with very little wheat and crazy food. It is all just the normal food we eat at walmart. In Just less than 1 YEAR.
I was sick last week and couldn't go to the grocery store and we still had plenty of food. I still buy lots of name brand treats, snacks, meat, produce. We are not skimping. At the smith household, we like to eat.
So I am starting a new plan. Today, I saved 87.63 in just one week. 37.55 in coupons and 50.13 in price matching at walmart. That was a very average week nothing crazy. I still spent 138.00. So my cart was overflowing with groceries.
Well I have a high every week like I just went to tijuana. I love to get a good deal. I could talk about it for the rest of the week.
So the other thing I love to do but always feel guilty about is spending money on myself. So starting today, I am putting my weekly saved money into an envelope and buying myself something AWESOME. If I save around that much each week. I will have close to 350 each month.
