I shop on payday but have to pick up milk, bread etc a couple times the rest of the week. I have two teen boys, if I stockpile too much the boys will just eat it. i spend 1000 a month and believe me that doesn't include many convenience foods (unless they are a super good deal) I include pharmacy and cleaning stuff in that amount. Maybe it is just those of us east of Ontario that have the most problems as our prices are much higher and deals are fewer?<br />WTG on getting the cast off! we got two feet of snow last night so no bare patchesEvelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173048649291397174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-35759917249085304802012-03-15T14:41:31.599-04:002012-03-15T14:41:31.599-04:00Congrats on the cast finally coming off!

I used to enjoy it, but I'm finding it just a big pain in the neck more often than not. Not least because I can spend $100 and leave with two bags of things.

Hopefully we'll do the back next week.<br /><br />Since there's only 2 of us and the cat, and we're no longer working we tend to buy groceries as we need.

Since my Dat goes grocery shopping each week I bring him to No Frills and get fresh produce weekly. I try hard to spend $300/month for a family of five, two dogs and two cats ( include their food in groceries). I spend $75/month at Shopper's specials only. This is for drug and household related items such as TP and tissues. I make my own cleaners and detergents. Love the points there!<br /><br />I make out lists and stick to them. Lists based on meals and needs only. I also stock pile every month on specials that are too good to overlook, but incorperate them in my lists and menues.<br /><br />The only two times it never works well for me is January where I tend to stock up too much because of all the dollar deals in the grocery stores, and feb. Both months because produce is expensive. But it even out come summer when I am well below $300/month<br /><br />I coupon only for items I use a lot. I don't buy because of the coupon.simplicityinthemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492407981286638459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-41732362644657869702012-03-15T07:15:58.346-04:002012-03-15T07:15:58.346-04:00I do one major shopping per month, normally the we...I do one major shopping per month, normally the week that Welfare checks and Retirement payments are made, because that seems to be the week of deals. (last week in the month here) Since I have to take my Dat grocery shopping each week, I go to No Frills with him and get my fresh produce then. I try and spend $300. a month on grocerys including pet food for a family of five, three adults and two children. I also have a budget of $75./month for drug store stuff, which includes TP, tissues and anything NOT a food idem. Like Gill I get my weekly specials at Shoppers.
