It's great motivation to stick to my meal plan.<BR/><BR/>@Crafty Mom I'd love to get in on a CSA, but I hope to grow a lot of my own veg this summer and buy others direct from the farmer. I try not to spend more than $2.50 ($2.99 at the most) on boxed cereal. Having said that, I going to really, really try not to buy anymore than we already have in the house. My goal is to phase it out completely. And <B>I'll</B> be super impressed if I can keep it under $400 too!<BR/><BR/>@Chantal Yes, I shop at more than one store. Luckily, they're all pretty close together here in Gatineau and I do it all in one morning. Each Wednesday when the fliers come (woo hoo, that's today!) I go through them and write down what I deem to be good sales at each store. Then I sit down with that master list and plan my meals for the week. <BR/><BR/>Make sense? Should I post my list when it's done this afternoon?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07573136626710844845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353304674398552352.post-69964656135315105502009-04-08T09:48:00.000-04:002009-04-08T09:48:00.000-04:00Great post.

Did you follow the sales in particular or did you make your list and those things just happened to be on sale. Enquiring minds want to know :)Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623046375096046381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353304674398552352.post-89644284187483496912009-04-07T21:59:00.000-04:002009-04-07T21:59:00.000-04:00Good work - I rarely keep the prices that low for ...Good work - I rarely keep the prices that low for our family. We get organic food delivery each Friday, so it might be a little pricier than at the store, but it's amazing quality and the service, well, nothing beats it COMING to my house :)<BR/><BR/>I debate the cereal too, all the time. I often give in b/c it's fast and easy and I know all three kids will eat it. But it really can be expensive - some boxes are $5.00 or $6.00!!! I also make my own granola - the kids love it and we eat alone or on top of yogurt or something. And we do a lot of muffins (I have a few recipes on my recipe blog) where I throw in lots of flax and veggies or whatever and the kids usually can't taste it. I'd say once a week at least they have a muffin for breakfast. I make pancakes too, every weekend, and they LOVE them and it's nice to know the ingredients going into everything instead of popping open a box.<BR/><BR/>I'll be checking back for sure to see how it goes, and I will be SUPER impressed if you stay within $400 this month :)A Crafty Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530128828277207683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353304674398552352.post-24339132071069020742009-04-07T20:58:00.000-04:002009-04-07T20:58:00.000-04:00Found you @ GCC -- and wow, you don't need to worr...Found you @ GCC -- and wow, you don't need to worry about the Cheerios - looks like you buy wonderfully healthy food for your family!Lisahttp://www.joyousfrugalfamily.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353304674398552352.post-28490911717301152162009-04-07T20:01:00.000-04:002009-04-07T20:01:00.000-04:00Awesome!
