Great job! How much did your menu change say from last month? Did you use coupons or buy more generic? Just wanted to know how you did it

I used coupons, shopped Aldi's, made my menus up 2 wks at a time. Went to the convenience store for milk (not only cheaper but prevented me from buying more in Walmart.) My dh also hunts so I don't purchase a huge amount of meat, but what I did I bought at Walmart early Sat am, that's when they put the marked down stuff out!

Great Job Jen!!!

Keep an eye on wal marts end caps as well...esp the freezer ones...you can find some great deals there...2 weeks ago I got big bags of wings for 1.00 and this week the big bags of chicken nuggets for 1.25.

Just a tip.

Congrats though....thats a BIG savings!!
