This week Groceries and Next week.
Posted By linda on July 22, 2008
This week I had to buy groceries for two weeks. We will be very busy for the next two weeks. I really won’t have time to go to the store. I just hope the milk last for two weeks.

I always stock up on meat when it’s on sale, it really hurts that trip, but the next several trips are SOOOOOO much less that it’s worth it. Hopefully you’ll see that too. I also tend to buy 1 or 2 large cuts of meat and spread it out through the week Like a large flank steak is easily 3 meals for us.
I love to stock up also. Have you heard of thegrocerygame.com. She helps you cut your bill in half. I love that site.
I will have to get me one of those food savers, because I stock up on meat also when it is on sale.
