PROJECT LOWER MY GROCERY BILL STEP #3 How are you doing with Steps 1 & 2? It isn’t easy. My menu plan is already shot!! There is just the two of us and I ALWAYS cook too much, so we have leftovers all the time. This past week we had Chicken and Dumplings 3 times. Our dog Sassy ended up with a big bowl of it so we wouldn’t have to eat it again, which she enjoyed immensely. LOL But we saved money on the grocery bill. I admit that is extreme but when you are trying to save money on your groceries you do eat a lot of leftovers and I do not like leftovers but I eat them. I really need to learn how to cook for the two of us and not for the whole neighborhood. My Honey called me the day after we gave Sassy our leftover dumplings and asked what was for supper and said he didn’t care what we were having so long as it didn’t start with a “C” He was starting to pluck feathers. lmao. On to serious stuff!!! Do you have a budget? You really need to start working on a budget. The first thing you do is list your every month expenses like, house or apt, electricity, gas, water, phone, life insurance, health insurance, homeowners insurance, car insurance, gasoline, savings. These are the most important. Then you add your credit card payments, hopefully you don’t have any. Now add all that up, and subtract it from your monthly pay checks, figure out how much money you have left for food, and fun. I have always told my kids “You pay your bills first then you get to eat.” They don’t listen to me but I tell them anyway.
