You know how it is, right?  Sometimes the money doesn’t stretch quite far enough, and the month has just begun.  Am I the only one that feels this pain?  I don’t think so!  But sometimes a miracle takes place, and I walk out of the grocery store like a boss….

When I grocery shop, I usually send up a quick prayer for good sales and wisdom to shop well with what I have available.  Today I paid on my grocery store account—all I could afford—then I rolled my buggy around the store looking for deals.  My local store has a bargain bin for things that might be a day or two out of date, but the food is still good.  I found quite a few useful items in there.  I also hit some awesome sales!  I walked out of the store like a boss with plenty.  My freezer is full, and I have food to cook.  Now the next issue is how to plan meals to make it all last as long as possible.  I better get to planning!
