Grocery Shopping Made Easy

No votes yet

For busy working moms, you need to save all the time and money you possibly can when you go grocery shopping! I keep a regular envelope on the fridge at all times, and during the week I jot down the groceries I need. Then, just before I go shopping, I tuck the coupons I'll be using inside the envelope, and off I go! I have my list and coupons all in one - thus saving time AND money!

It Can Wait

I used to come home from work (after picking up my 2 young boys and running any errands, or going to any sporting events) and directly go in to the kitchen to start cooking and cleaning. I was always in such a rush to get dinner and cleaning and baths out of the way that I always felt stressed out. My children were always very "fussy" during this cooking and cleaning time which didn't help any of the stress. I decided to try something new.

Less dishes to wash

Save empty drink bottles with squirt tops such as the type sport drinks come in. Have one for each child. Use a permanent marker to write each kids name on one. Fill them with juice, koolaid, milk, etc. in the morning and keep in the fridge. Kids can get their own drinks from the fridge and there's no spills due to pouring. Kids put them back in fridge when they've had enough to drink. No more washing 50 cups a day!!! We also use these bottles when we go on picnics, cook-outs or to the beach. No more paper cups, no wasted drinks, and no kids waiting to be served a drink.

Live life to the fullest. Do not sweat it if the little things happen! Just try your best. Live! Take time for you. Give a little to work, a little to the kids and a little to the man in your life. Give a lot to yourself and do the things you like to do!
