Thanks for including my “Step By Step Grocery Shopping With A Thrifty Person” in your list.
I love nuts and bolts posts like yours, Victoria! It was a no-brainer to include it here. :-)
I’m so glad that you found my shopping list organizer!!! Thank you for featuring!
I made one for my own store a long time ago, Jessica… then they rearranged the entire store and my list was a mess. I’ve been procrastinating making another one — now I don’t have to! :-)
Thank you so much for including my post, One Weird Trick Saves Me $125/month in Groceries. I saved about $200 last month doing this. :) I’m trying to plan better and get the amount up higher in savings. :)
It’s a smart idea, Sarah! I have done it, too — but usually only as an emergency measure, lol. I think I’m going to try to start planning it in. :-)
