If you are not purchasing much this month, you are also missing out on any good deals. For example, in our area (I'm from BC Canada) we have a super sale this week on chicken at one place and lean ground beef in another, just to name a few. It will be months before this sale comes again so I will be stocking up. I'm frugal to the core....spending minimum on groceries for our family of seven and doing all our baking (bread/buns/cookies/cake etc.) My approach is this: keep stock in our pantry and three freezers on a constant rotating basis, while taking advantage of super deals. Just my approach that works for us. I enjoy reading of how others do this... I’m just wondering if this approach really will benefit in the long run.

I have not bought anything meatwise this week. I made a quick pass through Aldi's and bought milk, eggs, produce and rice. I spent $15. I need sugar but it was $2.50 for 5lbs. I made a list of dinner meals and posted it on our fridge. We have marked off 6 of the 7 meals. We are having the 7th one for lunch after church and left overs tonight. I will sit down today and make a new list for next week using what we already have. We actually have holes in the pantry now! Thanks for the challenge!
