Make your weekly menu around what is in your pantry and the weekly sales. Instead of making your shopping list around a menu.
The normal thought process is to make a weekly menu , then make your shopping list and go out and spend alot of money.
You can really save some money changing your thought process:
First go to your pantry and make a list of items you have you could use for the week. Keep in mind to look for items that might be close to expiration. Check the freezer as well.
Next you will want to see what special sales are going on at the grocery this week.
