i came up with this one many years ago when money was tight. i had been going to the grocery once a week. my budget was 50.00. when i started going every 10 days-guess what-my bill was still 50.00. so i was able to save myself 50.00 a month!;)
now i budget 25.00 a week (there's just the hubby and me) and i take that 100.00 a month and go to sam's. hubby still buys the occasional gallon of milk or dozen eggs,buy i make all our bread and i make my own fabric softener and laundry soap. so try the every ten days shopping and see if it works for you! and stay out of the grocery between times-if you forget something-dont buy it til next time
