I want to thank you for sharing your struggles and challenges with me in the grocery savings workshop video comments – I have really enjoyed getting to know you better and getting to encourage you and share ideas and other resources with you.

I know that grocery shopping is tough – it’s tough to fit into your schedule, it’s tough to find the brain space, it’s especially tough when you have littles in tow. And part of the reason it’s tough is that there are several parts and pieces that need to work together, if you want to be successful and save money on your grocery bill week after week.

My goal in this next workshop video is to show you the different parts to the process…and share why you need to have a solid plan in place.

With grocery shopping…the following 3 phases are crucial. And understanding them all and where you might be breaking down is the key to making long term and lasting changes…that lead to big savings!

  • Pre-Planning – meal plan writing, shopping list prep, checking the cupboards and freezer
  • In the Store – being a smart shopper while in the store
  • Post-Shopping – using your food wisely and not letting it go to waste!

I want to help smooth this all out for you and we’re talking about these ‘pieces’ and phases in today’s workshop video. This is your money and your savings account that’s at stake – I think that’s worth fighting for. Don’t you?!

The toughest battles are won when you have a plan…

Watch the Video Now!

In the Makeover class, we will look dig deeper into each of these aspects, and I will show you how to improve in the areas you struggle. More on that soon…

For now, head on over into the workshop and check out today’s video.
