Meal Planning Monday W/C 13/01/2014 Grocery Budgeting..

For the next couple of months, I’m examining our food shopping, how we spend our budget and where we could “improve”. I have to confess, I am not intent on being frugal, I want to be able to eat the things we want to, I just think we could save money and be a tiny bit healthier along the way. This week we’ve heavily reduced our spend in the supermarket, we appeared to have loads of shopping for our reduced spend, but the really dramatic change was this was all real food, no ready made processed foods. OK, this means I’m going to have to cook from scratch, but this is a huge change to our usual shopping bills and we usually run out of food by the end of the week..
