• It has taken me 2+ years of meal planning and strictly sticking to my budget but I am finally in a position to ONLY buy what is on sale. I have a small pantry that is stocked with what we use all the time and even then I only buy based on the amount I can use until the next time that item goes on sale. (Keep track and you will see most everything is on a 4-6 or 8 week cycle. Last month was the first month since COVID began that I went over budget( by $14). The answer isn't to spend more when prices go up but to spend the same, or less, and become a more careful shopper and to spend only the amount in your budget. Very best way to keep cost down is to make a meal plan based on what is on sale and/or in your freezer/pantry.
