I really need to start doing this. Do you find it helps save money on groceries?
ReplyDeleteYES! It helps me so much to plan ahead. Plus, this week (with being gone over the weekend) I just looked to see what I had and all I have to get for all the meals for the week is the taco sauce! So almost grocery bill for the week! YEAH!
