grocery stores

I used to not be able to walk into a grocery store for a head of lettuce without spending $60. I've cut my quick trip expenses back to about $30 now that I'm being cautious, but that is still ridiculous. I found a website that will give you (for a small fee...) dinner menus for a week based on what is on sale at your local grocery store. The average cost for the 7 dinners is about $75. Since I budget about $800 for food at the grocery store, I thought it was definitely worth trying! I have signed up and printed out my menu for the next week. I'll let you know how it works and if the recipes are tasty. That will leave only breakfast, lunch, snacks and beverages that I need to budget extra. I would LOVE to cut my grocery bill in half and apply that to our debt.
