I have a meat stockpile in my freezer. I buy it when it’s on sale for its lowest price and then freeze it. This allows me to “shop from my freezer,” where I know I’ll find the best deals! We did not eat much meat this last month, during my first trimester because I couldn’t handle the sight of raw meat! Much less cook it!

I have a question, all of these grocery trips sound very good, and cheap, but i never see any meat? I understand they do not make coupons for meat, but if you only spend $25 on groceries, are you still planning meals or just buying whats on sale and figuring out whats meals you have later? I always plan my meals, and then HOPE to find items on sale, what am i doing wrong? also, my local available stores (krogers, walmart, meijers, and marsh all have sales on different days, but only 2 of those double coupons up to .50)

hi i just have some more questions for you….;) last week(my first week) i did manage to get 12 boxes of ranzoni pasta for 20 cents each, i can’t remember what else but it was 108.00 before loyal card dropped to 68.00 and after coup[ons it came to 28.00. i thought that was good, but i still have questions…so this week i have built up my coupons more , and i can get 8 bottles of suave shampoo for free, and soleil razor 4 pack for 1.29 each (on sale for 4.99), korr pasta/rice sides for 2/.78 after coupon, but some of the other stuff like sweet rays bbq sauce,digiornio flat bread pizza, hot pockets for 1.00 after coupon,country crock for 1.09,snuggle for 1.99 , do i wait till another sale???thats what i’m not sure of do i wait or buy now? i would not normally buy the pizza’s in a shopping trip but for 1.00 why not? so then i added up all the stuff i can use coupons for it totals around 56.00, not sure if i should buy all of them since i would not normally buy them, but would use them. help ?? sorry to bore you with this but i need some advice if i am going to make this work, i would appreciate your opinion, thanks again, lori
