I have been really busy around here, but I finally totaled up my coupon savings for the month of November, and you know what, there were none. Yep, a big $0.00 in the coupon savings for the entire month. Weird, I wonder how that happened?
I have noticed that my grocery shopping habits have really changed. I am making so many more items homemade instead of store bought, and shying away from pricey products even if they are on sale and I happen to have a coupon. I take the extra time in the store and compare product to product, and really try and save where I can.
This month I need to make a run to Aldi and get the pantry stocked for Winter, before the weather turns bad. Aldi is another one of my favorite places to save on the grocery budget. I like to make a big list, and stock up for 2-3 months. Already having the items on hand also helps keep me in the kitchen cooking, and not grabbing take-out.
What about you… Have you noticed your grocery budget or spending habits changing recently?
