Last
month's winner:
"Every month I complete a grocery shopping list for items
for the coming month. I have put together a list of all the meals
my husband and I eat regularly then put them on the calendar based
on the amount of time it takes to cook the meal. Monday through
Friday get easy meals that allow me to cook them in 20 minutes
or less and all meals that take more than 20 minutes are saved
for the weekends. This way we buy all of our groceries at one
time, saving on our grocery bill, (we store meat in our deep freeze
until it's time to use it) saving on our gas bill with less trips
to the store and saving my time by having quick meals already
planned out for the week."
