For the ones that limit, I will send rebates to family members because they usually shop from my stockpile anyway. cyberjfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555429277360740924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541977228829677887.post-24798865950021285742012-08-10T15:36:22.464-05:002012-08-10T15:36:22.464-05:00Are you able to send in more than one rebate per h...Are you able to send in more than one rebate per household?

The $28.85 is an AVERAGE of what I spend when divided out over the 52 weeks of the year. <br /><br />I will buy items that are money makers (after sale, coupon, catalina, rebate - I get back MORE than I spent!) even if we don't need the item. I donate the item and I get to use my "profit" that I made from buying.<br /><br />I also send in a lot of rebates. When the rebates start rolling in, the money gets added back into my annual budget.cyberjfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555429277360740924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541977228829677887.post-67751758008094842782012-06-30T19:15:25.331-05:002012-06-30T19:15:25.331-05:00I actually do not write menus. If you look back t...I actually do not write menus. If you look back through the blog, you will notice I buy when things are free or dirt cheap. I stock up on these items at these times. Then we eat from my stockpile. I do not shop for my menu. I plan our meals from what is in my pantry. <br /><br />For instance, if pasta is free after sale and coupon - I may buy 20 boxes. Then we are set on pasta for a while. If I were to plan a week's worth of menus and I put spaghetti on it - I may spend $1-2 for a lb that week if there is no sale. <br /><br />When there's a deal on meat or I find it marked down - I buy lots and freeze into meal size portions right away. I usually get ground beef under $1.50 a lb, chicken about $1.25 a lb, pork loins for $1.75 a lb. These are my "good deal" prices and I might buy 25 lbs when that sale comes along. But then I don't have to buy meat for a few months (unless it's really cheap again). This allows me to pull chicken breasts from the freezer and plan my meal around that. If I were to plan a menu and put chicken on the menu - the price could be $2-3 a lb that week!<br /><br />I usually shop for fresh fruit/vegetables (there are good coupon deals on frozen veggies though) & milk each week. I only buy the fruit we need and we will eat before it goes bad. It's not a good deal if you are gonna throw it away because you didn't eat it before it turned. That is money straight into the trash can.<br /><br />Does that clear up your questions Sandy?cyberjfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555429277360740924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541977228829677887.post-44698365615984688142012-06-30T17:36:13.954-05:002012-06-30T17:36:13.954-05:00Can you share your weekly menu I am wondering what...Can you share your weekly menu I am wondering what your eating for $28.85 a week.Sandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541977228829677887.post-83047853176457051382011-04-12T16:02:39.132-05:002011-04-12T16:02:39.132-05:00Yes, I have a good sized stockpile that we eat fro...Yes, I have a good sized stockpile that we eat from already.

I usually try to go somewhere I have a gift card for, which I normally purchase from My Points, Swagbucks, or Coke Rewards. We also eat out with Grandma and Grandpa usually - and they pay the bill.<br /><br />I usually shop in the evenings when my husband is home so I can shop alone. This alleviates the need for snacks/drinks while shopping. If I end up shopping with children I will usually bring them each something from home. Then they get something after each store we go to.<br /><br />We probably only to go the movies about every other month (not even that often sometimes) and take our snacks with us. I've been getting free movie tickets and concession cash from the various Kellogg's offers on the boxes as well. If I have those, my hubby will get popcorn from concession. If we pay money for these items, it comes out of our "entertainment" budget for the month.cyberjfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555429277360740924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541977228829677887.post-4977737984621374412010-07-29T14:22:34.841-05:002010-07-29T14:22:34.841-05:00You don't add misc items to your monthly total...You don't add misc items to your monthly totals do you?
