For those who’re new right here, I apply the Purchase Forward Precept — which signifies that what we purchase every week is commonly for future weeks. We refill on the perfect offers and markdowns every week and that signifies that we then have quite a lot of objects from earlier buying journeys to make use of to plan a menu from.
With the rise in grocery costs, I’ve determined to boost our grocery finances to $100 per week as a result of I’ve not been having sufficient wiggle room to refill like I’d need to. This quantity will nonetheless problem me to be inventive whereas additionally giving me sufficient respiratory room to refill and proceed to apply the Purchase Forward Precept.
Along with training the Purchase Forward Precept, I Reverse Meal Plan. Which means I plan based mostly upon what we’ve readily available plus what good gross sales/markdowns I discovered on the shops. (Learn extra about Reverse Meal-Planning right here.)
