We should always have a well enough stocked pantry that we can miss a week of shopping. I was pondering what great deal I might have gotten this week when I realized I never went shopping this week! I take that back, I took new fabric pictures for April Monday and picked up a couple things at the bulk bakery supply store, 6 huge containers of dutch baking cocoa and a big container of black pepper, all for about $8. But even that I only did because I was down that way. I really don’t like to run around, I like to be home, and I had other things to do. And we didn’t need anything that couldn’t wait till the next week. So, boring as that is, that is it. Keep a stocked pantry so that you don’t need to shop every week. Then you will get to Friday and realize you have had a Frugal Week.

I do all my shopping once each month, so I whole-heartedly agree with you! I like to stay home and we go for weeks where we don’t buy anything at all.
