Sound like it will fill up the van - no room for kids. Less frequent trips to the store really do save money, but hubby Dan will still have to stop in once in a while for milk and other very perishable items. Let us know how it goes!Julie V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00679617381948100098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15443223.post-88628688882823212132009-06-26T15:30:20.778-07:002009-06-26T15:30:20.778-07:00I don't know about going to the grocery so inf...I don't know about going to the grocery so infrequently, but I know some people who do once a month cooking (OAMC) and that really cuts down on the time they spend at the commisary since they're not buying stuff to make supper. Just things like fresh items and lunchmeat.<br /><br />They look at sale papers, decide what they're going to make, then do one huge trip for what they'll need for about a month's worth of meals. The next day they'll do all the cooking. It might take up a good portion of your Saturday, but you don't have to do anything for the rest of the month.<br /><br />When my last daughter was born, I did a bit of this. I cooked as much as possible and stuck it in the freezer because I knew from experience that it takes about 6 weeks before I FEEL like cooking again. One of my favorite recipes I discovered from that time was <a href="http://cookbook-mcmillian.blogspot.com/2007/11/spicy-beef-sloppy-joes.html" rel="nofollow">Spicy Beef Sloppy Joes </a>which can be made a lot less spicy if desired. All I would have to do with a lot of the meals was throw fresh of frozen vegetables on the side and we'd be set.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Super-Suppers-Cookbook-Judie-Byrd/dp/0696230542/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246055050&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">Super Suppers </a>was my favorite of all the cookbooks I looked through at the time.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151281804694526025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15443223.post-948862239179677692009-06-26T13:30:05.161-07:002009-06-26T13:30:05.161-07:00I would love to know how people do that too.
