PLAN & PREPARE

Sometimes, I do not have time to plan, prepare and shop all in one day. So to make my life easier, I like to split up that process. Every Wednesday or Thursday I log onto Grocery Smarts to get my list started. Then I prepare my list by printing or cutting all coupons needed, calculate my estimated out of pocket, and split up my coupons (if needed) into my different transactions. Because I prepare my list in advance, when I am ready to go shopping, I grab my list and go. So NICE!!!

So if you feel stressed about the whole planning, preparing and shopping in one day, split up the process and feel the stress melt away.
