Shopping.....

Today i was thinking i might get a head start on some of my Spring Cleaning. I found this wonderful blog "Organize Your Life" and it has wonderful tips on Cleaning, List Making and Organizing! Grociery Shopping is a weekly chore....And Cleaning out the fridge is something i hate to do. But with these tips it makes it sound easy and fun. Check it out........

  • Keep a list – If throughout the week you keep track of the things you run out of you won’t be rushing the morning of your grocery trip figuring out what you need to get.

  • Get the non-perishables in bulk once a month – This includes things like toilet paper, shortening, diapers, etc. This way you can concentrate on the fresh food the rest of the month.

  • Clean your fridge the day before – This way you will know exactly what you need from the store. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve purchased ketchup only to realize I already have 2 bottles!

  • Start in the middle of the store, then do the perimeter – Get fruits, vegetables and bread last so they don’t get squished by the rest of the items in your cart.

  • Use Coupons! – In the words of my sister and Dane Cook “You gotta have coups man!” Seriously. Last week my sister went to the store, purchased 30 items… spent $15, SAVED $105!!!!!
