Grocery tips from the ol' grandma, Lisa C.

*Never shop while hungry.
*Always have a shopping list.
*Avoid snack isle/candy/ice cream isle.
*By fresh veggies and fruits when at all possible, avoid canned.

When I was a mom with younger children at home, I would plan my main meals and have a "cooking day" and cook all the necessary ingredients, meats, etc. and then have homemade meals already to rumble in the freezer.  This would get us through about a month of meals.  My kids never minded a few leftovers.  They could've been a lot healthier I realize now, cutting out white flour pasta, etc.  But it was sure nice to have those meals ready for us!
