Grocery Shopping

Always check the weekly ad, plan meals accordingly & make a list before you go. STICK to that list!!

Sign up for the discount card that that store has to offer it doesn't cost anything to sign up for or use & it comes in EXTREMELY handy!! I know Albersons, Safeway, Kroger, & a few others offer these cards

Clip coupons!!

NEVER go shopping on an empty stomach, EVER! This helps a ton with impulse buying.

If you can, stock up on meats & freeze them in as many servings as you're going to use...
I take a pound of hamburger & stick it in a freezer bag, flatten & freeze. It's super easy to defrost under water for about 5 minutes to slide out of the bag & it'll defrost the rest of the way while cooking it.

Formula

When using the Enfamil, Similac, etc checks you can also use a store's coupon on top of those checks!! You will save a TON of money!

Also, eBay – Formula, Baby Formula and Similac Formula items on eBay.com. Find IT on eBay. is an EXCELLENT place to buy a bulk supply of any type of formula you can imagine. Just remember to ALWAYS check the persons feedback BEFORE you purchase!!

( I'll be adding more later )
