How To Save On Groceries 101

Posted June 20, 2008 at 4:59PM in Family Living General by notthemoma | Back 

 

Ok, so I'm a little embarrassed about making this post, but I feel a strange sense of obligation to helping out all you families that are starting to feel the strain of the squeeze on the wallet.

My wife and I happened to have 2 dinner engagements that happened back to back (Tuesday night, followed by a Wednesday night).  After the end of the second dinner on our way home, my wife (who does all the grocery shopping) looked over to me and said, "you know, I did our grocery shopping on Sunday, and I don't really think there is a need for me to shop again till next week because we have saved on 2 nights worth of groceries". 

2 weeks later, we had worked dinner dates (at our friends houses) on 3 out of the 5 work days and so far next week, we are going to friends for dinner on 2 nights.  What a money saver!!!!

The obvious question is should we return the favor.  Well, I thought about that and figured during the course of dinner, you get a sense of when it is "socially inconvenient" for your friends to come over for dinner.  You invite them when you know they will likely decline the offer.

Yes, I know, I need help ... but hey ... it's not illegal ... is it?!?!
