Yes, it’s true I saved $58 dollars on my grocery bill yesterday!! Yep, you can close your mouth now, well not you..but that is what I told the cashier. She was shocked after first seeing me stroll in with 2 grocery carts filled with food, thankfully my hubby joins me on these trips. Then of course, I handed her my cloth bags to place all the items in, she was not too pleased about that, but I am doing my part in helping the environment. I had to giggle each time someone would stand behind me in the checkout line and then do a complete u-turn to find another register. I giggle because I only go to the grocery store one time a month to do this major shopping spree. I will go to the store one other time during the month and that will usually be for milk or eggs. So, as I was saying, the cashier was totally shocked after ringing up all my groceries and then running all my coupons through and noticed that I saved $58!!!
I have a family of 7 that is home ALL the time. Since I homeschool my 5 children, they are always home and you guessed it, always eating. So, my
shopping days are strategically planned. I will usually go to the produce stand, the dollar store and then to Super Walmart for my main grocery shopping. I have a system that has saved me literally $100’s each month. Before treating my kitchen as a business, I spent literally $1600 a month on groceries!!! Yes, I would go to the grocery store every week without a plan, no coupons and just shopped and spent $400 each time. I figured that was normal with a large family so I never really thought about it. Until, one day..after going shopping I looked in the cupboards and refrigerator and realized I didn’t have anything to make a single meal. It was all JUNK!!!
That is when I put my system in order. I now go to the grocery store 1 time a month, yes just 1 time a month! I spend less than $400 each time and have meals for 3 weeks, which include breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. Not to mention that it is for a family of 7 which includes 2 adults and 3 teens. If you want to learn more about my system, I invite you to take a peek at my program. It is listed on my products page called: Save 100’s- Run your Kitchen as a Business. Believe me it works!! You can see from my past posts the menu’s that I develop and they are all made from scratch with one day for a treat..our take-out Thursday’s. If I can do it … so can you:)
I also homeschool a family of 7(5+2)! And yes it can be expensive! Your book looks great, I’ll forward this on the the other large families that I know. Amazingly they are all homeschoolers! Why is that?

If I don’t have to have the manager come and do an over-ride, than I know I haven’t done my grocery shopping “job.”
