We went grocery shopping today and I know this may sound crazy, but I am SO thankful for grocery shopping! Let me explain…
It took me a minute to pinpoint it, but I figured it out just now. When I was struggling, I used to pull out all the ads from the newspaper, I’d go online for coupons, I’d use my phone with all the grocery store apps for extra coupons, I’d compare the prices of different items at different stores and THEN I would figure out if it was STILL a better price if I had to drive so many miles and use so much gas to get to the different stores…. Grocery shopping PLANNING to save the most money so I could afford to eat, and eat as healthy as possible at that, was EXHAUSTING!
Today, we made a list, we went to the grocery store, we bought what we needed and that was that. There’s a better way than living paycheck to paycheck and I’ve not only found it, but I LOVE sharing it and teaching it to others!
