Challenge: To trim down the grocery bills by at least 33%

According to the US Department of Labor, the average American family of four spends $8,513 per year on groceries. This statistic breaks down to $177 per person a month. My family is not the traditional nuclear family. In addition to me and my husband, we have four children -- three teenagers, a two-year-old, and a mother-in-law. Applying the above figures, our grocery bill for a family of seven should approximate to $1239 per month. And astonishingly, it has regularly fluctuated in the range of $1000- $1300. My goal is to trim this monthly pile of receipts down to $830,(including diapers, wipes, hygiene products, and restaurant bills) if not less. Being able to frugally feed my nutrition-conscious husband and appease the voracious appetites of my teenagers will be my main challenge!

Another Stop and Shop Coupon Book

A free entertainment guide is now being offered by the front entrance of the Stop and Shops I have been to.  It gives some nice tips, along with recipes for zucchini latkes, cherry and walnut quinoa, crab imperial, gingerbread with golden raisin sauce, and raspberry meringues to name a few.

The best part, of course, are the valuable coupons -- 55 cents off Land o Lakes half and half, $1 off NatureMade products, $1 off CareOne vitamins, $1 off 2 Cabot items (the cheese blocks are on sale this week, I think for only 2/$5!), $1 off any Fruit2day morning product, $1 off two McCormick spices or herbs.
