Quite a while ago, my Mother-in-Law gave me a list that I thought was I great thing! Then I promptly lost it! In cleaning things out, I found it again! I'm so excited! We are going to start the $5/week food storage!
The idea is that you set aside $5 each week to buy the items on the list. Some weeks, you don't buy anything, but still put that $5 aside so that you can buy something a little more expensive the next week. If you have any change left, put it back in your jar (or envelope or whatever you're using!) to put towards other purchases!
