One of the reasons we re able to stay within our grocery budget is because we live 15 long miles from Walmart. Oh what agony for the type of person who loves to “run to the store”. But I don’t so it is just fine with me. So when I do go to town my trips are well planned. I not only have a shopping list but I have the competitors ads, and I have a plan, a list of errands in geographically productive order, and I have taken inventory. Now inventory would be so much easier if there were only one cook here, but there are several. So I appoint the oldest daughter at home to be the kitchen manager. Inventory is her job. She is in charge of telling me what is needed, what we can’t live without and what would be nice. I also have another daughter that is bathroom manager, she keeps me informed about soaps, shampoos, and toilet paper needs. Because somethings you cannot do without. Also on my list are approx prices. I have it very well planned. So my Frugal Friday tip is to never leave the house without a plan.
