Ok, so I decided to start a blog about my shopping adventures. I'm not sure exactly how this will work, but I guess we'll see what happens. I don't know if I'll actually keep up with this, but I wanted to try.
A little about me, I have two kids, Sam, 2, and Ella, almost 8 months. They keep me very busy. Sam is a bundle of energy and Ella is trying to learn to walk. I'm a mostly stay-at-home mom. I do some substitute work for an optometrist. It's usually only a day or two a month. My husband was unemployed for two months earlier this year, and it was a big motivation for me to tighten our grocery budget. My previous budget was $250 a month. My goal now is $40 a week. That's all our household supplies, diapers for two kids, dog food, groceries, everything. Most of the time I make it.
I'm hoping this blog will help other busy moms save money, and maybe more importantly, time. I don't shop at twelve different grocery stores, so I won't tell you to. Obviously, a lot of my deals will be regional, but maybe it will help motivate you to find your own deals.
Thanks for reading.

I forgot to mention, we actually eat better on the current $160 a month budget than we did on the previous $250. Also, the $250 was groceries and household items only, not diapers, beauty items, dog supplies, or anything like that.
