Having trouble stretching your grocery budget until your next payday? As soon as you get your paycheck, buy yourself a couple of grocery store gift cards and put them in your wallet. At the end of the month when your  account is low, you will have those $25 gift cards to get you through! A friend of mine does this just before the holidays. She buys herself gift cards to her favorite grocery store and puts them aside. That way, when the wallet is empty, she still has a way to grab the staples without stressing out about feeding her family!
