Twice a year a big meat and...This is how we do it:<br /><br />Twice a year a big meat and fish shopping trip at Costco. Mostly chicken, but ground beef, pork chops, and salmon as well.<br /><br />Once a month I create a monthly meal planner and then do our big once a month grocery shopping.<br /><br />Once a week I'll go back to grab fresh fruit and veggies, usually runs under 20 bucks, a little more in the summer when there's a bounty of fresh fruit. Every other week I have my husband grab 3 gallons of milk, eggs, and bread from Costco (you can't beat their price on milk and eggs anywhere).<br /><br />Sure I get tired after working all day and coming home having to cook, and there are days I'd love to just order out. But I make sure the menu is flexible and there is always something I can make quick instead of what I planed, such as frozen fish or spaghetti.<br /><br />On the weekends when I've run out I'll make chicken stock and spaghetti sauce, lay the ziplock bags flat to cool, then freeze them flat. Then I just stack it all in the freezer. So much cheaper and healthier making it yourself.<br /><br />Being a stay at home mom or a working full time mom, we are still moms that have a ton of stuff to do no matter what our jobs are. It can be done!Jen Blackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02522249407181011535noreply@blogger.com
