If you’re doing a big stock up grocery trip this weekend, the first step comes before you even leave the house.  First, you’ll want to do a quick overview of the cupboards, pantry and fridge/freezer to see what you already have on hand. It’ll help avoid the guessing game when you’re at the store…because, let’s face it, guessing is how we end up with double and triple of things we never use. And a quick check of your stock will help reduce your grocery bill because you can use what you already have to build next week’s meal plan. Reducing waste from spoilage and avoiding unnecessary trips are to the store are a great way to save on your family’s grocery budget.
