We now live about a quarter mile from a grocery store. I realized the other night that I had made a quick : “I-forgot-fill-in-the-blank” trip several nights in a row! While I am grateful for proximity, running to the store for this or that is probably not the best way to stick to a budget. Do any of you have the same issue? How do you keep yourself from making kamikaze runs to the store right before dinner each evening?

Thanks to the help and inspiration I have received from websites like this one I saved $127. 97 on my shopping trip to Safeway today ($30.45 in coupons)!
The original total did not print on the receipt , but it was around $250 and the total after club card, coupons etc was $115.62.
And fortunately the cashier was very nice and he was even impressed and didn’t grumble about all the coupons at all!
Thanks for the linky! 🙂
I use to live close to a Publixs and I would run almost everyday. It did not bother me because I would run after work or group with other errands like the bank and postoffice on saturday. Publixs offers so many coupon deals I found it easier to get some deals everyday. Now I live close to a hour from shopping. We menu plan to a t and if we run out we make due with what we have we go out two days per week. One for grocery and another for date day, if I forget something at the store I pick it up on date day after our date other than that we just eat what we have at home. Saves a ton on time and groceries (picking up extras / just because you happen to be at the store) Hope this helps. Give yourself some time to get settled and then set a schedule.
Ah, we don’t live a quarter mile from anything, but my Mom. The closest thing is my CVS which is 7 minutes away–so we totally don’t make quick runs.
My husband & I started this coupon thingy in June of this year (2010) and are thrilled to be doing it – our latest CVS receipt as of 8/27
YTD Savings 843.18

We usually shop all the stores with the same vigor and are thrilled every time we get home, look at what we bought and what we paid and are just flabbergasted at why we waited so long lol
