I've come up with an idea to save money on groceries that has been working well for our family. when i go shopping, i buy enough milk to last us 8 days. we mark it for the appropriate day, (that way the milk really does last that long!), and i theoretically don't go grocery shopping again until we've run out of milk. I've been doing this for several months now, and i can honestly say that it's really cut down on my running to the store for every little thing. especially with groceries being so expensive around here, that can make a big difference in our budget! it works for me!

A is so cute with this little cart- it almost makes me want to go grocery shopping more! she loves to put stuff in the cart- apples, cookies, more bananas, yogurt... on and on. i really have to watch her- no telling what we'll end up with!

That's a great idea, shopping around the need for milk. Really, isn't milk the big reason we go to the store? It's where that whole "Got Milk?" ad campaign came from.
Your daughter is adorable!
I could do this. I make excuses for not saving more on groceries but this does not involve a lot of time. It seems like it just might save a little of that too!
I really like your idea-- It would cut down on a lot of little trips here and there.
