Since the last blog post, I have been busy working on little way I can cut back here and there. A BIG part of this I feel is our grocery bill. I think everyone would say that they feel they spend too much on groceries, but with a 3 and 1 year old and a husband who likes to eat as much as I do, we have been way overspending.
Last week while I was at the grocery store, I saw a roaster chicken on Manager's Special for really cheap! I wish I could have wrote down the exact amount, but it was around $3.50. I tried to upload a picture of the meat that I got off of it, but I'm not sure where on the post it will show up. Anyway, it was MUCH more than I had expected. I bagged up the meat in little freezer bags and stuck them into a big freezer bag together and stuck it in the fridge. I used one of the little bags in homemade chicken noodles and they were delish! I love having shredded up chicken in the fridge to toss in casseroles, stir-fry, chicken salad... so many options. This was a CHEAP, easy way to stock up on quality chicken without paying $7.50 for a package of chicken breasts to get the same amount of meat. I think I actually ended up with more!
I have also stopped buying the Dora and Mickey Yoplait yogurt for my dd. She loves them, but the price per ounce was way out of line. Instead, I have been buying a big 2 lb container of Yoplait strawberry yogurt and giving her some in a small snack cup. It last 3x as long and for cheaper than buy 1 4pack of the other!
What are some ways you cut cost on your grocery bill?
