So far so good with getting back into cooking on a regular basis last week. I really do love it and it is so much easier when I plan my menus – this post is my accountability, which I am thankful!
I’ve really been trying to stick to a grocery budget, so my meal options have been dictated by sales ads and what’s in my pantry already. I felt like an 80-year old, when I actually got a rain check for chicken drumsticks that were on sale last week and Shop and Save was out of them. I used it this week- I can’t believe I remembered it- and saved almost $4 on my chicken. Is it sad this is something I get excited about?!?! I also get joy from reading my total savings that Shop and Save prints on the bottom of my receipts and then excitedly retell it to John when I get home. He does not find the same excitement in this ritual as I. Anyways, happy dinners this week to you!
