[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 707366, member: 4152"] I use to go once a week to buy groceries. During that time, I was more budget conscious and probably food conscious as well. Now, I go approximately twice a week. I think we are going twice a week now because in the past I would plan for several days up to a full week of meals and even plan for going out to eat twice a week within that plan. Now, I only plan for about half a week at a time. This post made me think. We actually do use an overall budget, but when it comes to food, we don't seem to follow it much at all... right this second...I can't recall what my food budget is! Note: We keep a white board in our laundry room. As I run out of grocery/kitchen items, I write it down on the white board. I do take a list with me before going to the grocery store. I write down the items on the white board and other items I need for a recipe, for example. If I'm really rushing, I take a photo of the white board before leaving the house. Also, if something is a significant bargain, I do take advantage of those. Buy on get one free laundry detergent, I buy a lot of and store in our garage (for example). I do my best to avoid buying junk food. I will buy apples, carrots and celery. On occasion, I'll buy almonds. Even less often, sugar free chocolate pudding. [/QUOTE]
