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?
Savings from coupons and store sales: $49.94
