Say $500 a month... we go to Walmart at the beginning of the month, and stock up, and try our best not to go back!! Our problem is, if we need to go to Walmart to get one thing, we get that one thing, plus!! Therefore, making our bill around 200 bucks! So, the stock up thing works for us... then, you plan around that. You only can make something out of what you have at home... we have saved so much money!!

Second, plan your meals around what's on sale that week especially in the meat & produce departments. Then stock up on pantry items when they're on sale like cooking soups, rice and beans. Third, plan meals that use the pantry items and that don't require you purchase a lot of items that aren't on sale.
