I did my shopping for the month .. and it only cost $150. I usually am a sale shopper. I shop based on sales and cater my plan around the sales. With http://www.emealsforyou.com/ I was able to get a list together for the month (instead of the week) and it really had a big difference on my spending. This way I’m only spending for what we need (no extras…if we have extras we will eat them) so it actually worked out to be less (next month I will work better w/ the sales so I should see a drop as I get better).

So far I have gotten all my meat (except 1), all of my hard goods, breads (I freeze them so they keep), all of my …well basically everything except produce/milk for $150 (and about $50 of this stuff is pantry stuff…spices etc…. b/c my pantry was empty) . I also did this weeks produce/milk run for just over $25, and plan to make the weekly runs for my produce (b/c you really can’t store them, at least I can’t…I wont eat them unless they are fresh…pet peeve…lol.). I’m a little upset w/ the produce market, everything was in bulk. I wanted 4 bananas and got 4 bundles (about 16 or so). Yes it was only $2 but like I said I really can’t store them so it’s more than we needed. I’ll be looking for a new one, and hopefully bring the $25 down to about $15.

Well anyway I’m really excited, if I can do this every month than I’ll wind up saving a ton. We usually spend anywhere from $75-$100 per week ($300-$400 per month). This way we will spend $175 week one and $25 on weeks 2,3, and 4 ($200-$250 per month)…which is a whopping $100-$150 savings. And I feel awesome about this…mostly b/c I know I’ll actually be spending less than $200-$250 a month once I can get a good routine down and find a non bulk produce/farmers market.

Ok so I guess my point is …this site was so worth it for me, and will become more worth it the more I work at my new and improved system.

I’m looking forward to working with you. If there’s one thing I can definitely get enthusiastic about, it’s other people helping me plan my meals.
