once a month food shopping.
it’s an actual “thing”… did you know this? i found a few many ideas about it online. i know this because i spent many hours researching the whole idea. my journey to be more frugal has led me here. wherever “here” is.
the idea intrigues me.
my hang-up with it all is the lack of storage for the many items in the beginning weeks.
we have a good size pantry, but if i put it all in there, i have a feeling that my family will devour eat it and it will not be there for said meal plan. we also have an extra freezer, but i am sure the food won’t fit…oh, and it’s all the way in the cold and unfinished part of our basement. yes, that’s a reasonable reason.
as you can see, the jury is still out on if i will attempt this….so i’d love to hear your thoughts.
have you tried this method of shopping/planning? if so, what did you like/not like about it? if you haven’t tried it, why not?
help! pretty please?….
one of these days when I have my own house (living la vida apartment here) I plan to do monthly meal planning! It’d be a HUGE sanity saver for me, and probably a money saver as well!

yes..it’d be a huge money saver, which is why i’m considering. no running to the store multiple times a week for bread or milk because we run out… I’ve read you can freeze milk!
