Hi. I would like to share with you one way we are able to keep the grocery expenses under control. First of all, we try to go grocery shopping once a month for all the items that dont need refrigeration (milk, bread, veggies etc). I have a list of all the items we use and have made a "form". Each month I print out a form, we go over everything on the list and fill in the amount we need to buy. This helps us in NOT buying things either in quantites that we wont need for the month or buying things that we DONT need or we THOUGHT we need. We also try not to buy things that are not on the list. Perisables we buy only once a week. This is a system we have been doing for many many years (nearly 20) and it works. We are able to keep the grocery expense under control!!
