Saving On Your Grocery Bill

Frugal Find

Now, with three teenage boys, an active growing girl, myself, and My Better Half, keeping the grocery bill in check is always a challenge.  I am constantly looking for ways to save money on my grocery bill and as I have shared with you in 10 Ways I Save Money and Time and Money Saving Tips…I have found ways.

Putting them into practice though can sometimes be the hard part.
, Saving 4 Six

One sure-fire way to save on the grocery bill is to NOT GO TO THE GROCERY.  Now, for some of us this wouldn’t work for long because our family may starve to death but on second thought… maybe if you dig deep in your pantry or freezer and see what kind of meals you could come up with to avoid a trip to the grocery, you could make this work.

Well, that’s what I did a few weeks ago after arriving home from vacation.  This is what my frig and freezer looked like.

, Saving 4 Six
We did pick up milk on the way home but everything else was in the frig or we brought it home from vacation.
So, my challenge was to come up with meals for Monday through Friday from what you see here.
Here are the meals we had:
English Muffin Pizzas with Veggies
, Saving 4 Six
Banana Pancakes With Peanut Butter
, Saving 4 Six
Turkey Sausage Pigs in a Blanket
, Saving 4 Six
Turkey Hamburgers (I was too hungry to take the picture but you know what a burger looks like, right!?)
Taco Spaghetti
, Saving 4 Six
Not only did I come up with meals…they were good!  And I saved a good chunk of change this week.
So, I challenge  you…Don’t go to the grocery store this week and see what you can salvage up from your pantry, frig, and freezer.

Another added benefit is that your frig and freezer will get a good cleaning out as they are emptied out!

    The grocery is certainly the sorrow of my existence. I think I could probably stretch us a little longer between visits if I tried harder. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Great idea…I try really hard to stay out of stores, lol. Now if I could get MY better half to do the same…and to eat a meal without meat every once in a blue moon.

    Wait! You have FIVE PEOPLE–2 of them teenage boys and your fridge and freezer looked like THAT? My hubbs and I are the only ones here and mine is much more cluttered! I bow to you! You obviously know how to use what you have and enjoy great meals too! I need you to come to my house! 😉

    Grocery shopping is my favorite thing to do but right now my husband and I are on a strict budget. It definitely helps to use things that you already have. And it’s fun to get creative.

    We always do this right when we’re going on vacation and end up with some great meals, but I love the idea of doing this more often so we don’t end up throwing things away that we forgot we had. http://talenttoplay.blogspot.com

    I think you mean “fridge (if you look up frig it’s a bit of a shock) but other than that you have some great tips – i’m always trying to convince my husband that we can eat out of the cupboard every now and then and don’t need fresh meat all the time!

    I love the idea of using up what you already have. Speaking of not shopping and being lured into silly purchases;Sam’s Club let’s you place an order online,they fill your order and then you just pick up and pay at the store…that saves A Lot of my cash…

    You do not need to be the most outgoing person in the world
    to be successful at networking. Are you having your ceremony or reception in a place with florescent
    lighting. This is quite good advice as a healthy body will automatically reflect
    on your face.

    Audiencrs continued to take in all the scares wiith each additional movie, as the
    stories quickly seemed to go from horrr too
    moderate scares to a little ridiculkous even for a movie, loskng all
    appearance off any hold to reality. Some features like forward and reverse playback and half-speed may come in handy if you want to analyzze aany
    saved recordings. Although most people would not actively
    search out a haunted house, there are those who consider a such a residence
    a bonus.

    And the supports of a carport are anchored into the ground, so there is
    no need to pour a concrete foundation; a nice gravel pad is all you
    need. Vecere told reporters that Parrinello had operated the business for
    about 12 years. Songs like For Whom The Bell Tolls,
    Fuel, and Ride the Lightening are simply so electrifying that security and venue
    personnel were bobbing their heads to the hard-hitting riffs even as they assisted fans, and when James shouted ‘you sing it.
