When we first got married I too HATED grocery shopping. Now I actually enjoy going to the store (most of the time)Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802701746645511633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807180913108287708.post-45287332731504051162012-08-07T12:09:02.356-04:002012-08-07T12:09:02.356-04:00Ah, you are too funny, Holly :) That's really ...Ah, you are too funny, Holly :) That's really good to keep a running tally as you go. I've tried that before, but always mentally which always ends up failing. I probably should start writing it down--that way I'm not standing in the parking lot realizing stuff rang up incorrectly. Oh well :) And love the idea for using extra money to pay for dates or to giveaway. Always full of great ideas!!carmen @ life blessonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436197171458180834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807180913108287708.post-10861907061033858352012-08-07T12:07:06.955-04:002012-08-07T12:07:06.955-04:00Haha!

I also started listing prices so I have an estimated dollar amount before I finish. If I'm well under budget, I buy a restaurant giftcard for us to use or buy some extra things to donate to the church. <br /> <br />I totally sound like I am tooting my own horn...haha. Sorry to be THAT girl in the comments section! <br /><br />Just a few suggestions!

We would go to the park and then to the grocery store. Both stops were equally exciting.

I hear you on being intimidated but now I am a Grocery Store Superhero. Nothing better than getting a great deal and knowing that you're going to be able to use up what you've purchased at another time while saving your family money.PJ @ Planned in Pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595887139131622280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807180913108287708.post-20010213381181350572012-08-06T12:10:12.012-04:002012-08-06T12:10:12.012-04:00I loved grocery shopping...until I got pregnant!

I still look at the store ads and use a few coupons here and there, but I'm willing to spend a couple extra dollars to avoid going to more than one store.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764671630603708504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807180913108287708.post-71731731652819272182012-08-06T09:58:09.066-04:002012-08-06T09:58:09.066-04:00I completely agree!
