Your Grocery List Should Include Meals
You can plan a grocery list because you know you need things, but do you know what you will make. Plan your list with recipes and menu items. Think of it this way. “We are eating this on Monday, this on Tuesday, etc.”
”We’re having this for lunch every day this week.”
”This is the snack for the week,” etc.
When you plan in this manner, you know what you will do with all the food you are buying.
Check the House Before Going to the Store
When you get into the groove, you should not make your grocery list without checking the house for certain things you might have run out of. For example, do you have relish, that spicy brown mustard you like, coffee creamer, etc.
Do you need cleaners, tissues, toilet paper, paper towels, etc?
Take a walk through the house and kitchen and THEN complete your list.
Drinks, Coffee, and Water
Make sure you plan for drinks, coffee, and water. You can buy that case of water, grab coffee, and get other drinks that will help you get through the week. This is especially important if there are specific drinks that you need. When you check the amount you have left in the house, you can buy exactly what you need when you go.
The idea is to never overspend.
Avoid Brand Names on the Grocery List
There are good reasons to buy specific brand names—allergies, health issues, etc. If you are not having issues with allergies, health conditions, and things of the sort, avoid brand names. Don’t even write brand names on the list. You’ll save money, and you’ll get used to checking for specials or sales.
