What's For Dinner?
I was recently inspired by the finale 'The Next Food Network Star". I love to cook but rarely make the time for from-scratch dinners. Take that and mix it with the fact that I really need to get a handle on my grocery budget and meal planning. I recently joined Thegrocerygame.com for the trial period. I like using coupons, I just don’t have the time to figure out when items are at their best time to buy, and I am especially bad at knowing meat/chicken/fish prices to know when to buy and stock-up. 5 comments from 4 users

My problem with coupons is I like buying food that doesn't come with coupons. Like you never see one for Herloom Tomatoes! Good for you for trying something new. The pictures are great. I'm glad your family enjoyed your hard work. posted by

Thanks!Yes, that's the thing, for the fresh items that never have coupons, I have never tracked their prices to know when it is a good price. I have always planned my meals (if I've planned at all) and then shopped for what I need for those meals. But now I want to try to follow the sale prices and plan my meals around the sales. I want to see if I can really shave down my shopping budget that way. posted by

We've also started going to the store, buying our meat, and then figuring out what we are making. It's saved us quite a bundle because meat prices, especially chicken, vary a lot.
