If you think stocking ahead means you have to go to extremes, then you’ll want to get a different perspective on it.
Today, I’m continuing my series of guest posts over at (in)courage, as part of the Bloom Book Club. Here’s a little excerpt from today’s post:
Maybe you’ve seen those couponers on TV with their carts piled high with more mustard or toothpaste than any family could go through over the next 20 years. If so, you need to know that is not what I’m talking about when I use the term “stockpiling.”
Today I want to talk to you about how to take advantage of store sales in order to really cut your grocery budget down.
Have a Grocery Budget Set. Remember when I asked you to determine how much you spend at the grocery? You need to know how much you are spending. You need to know where you are now, so you can determine where you want to be.
