For the three local stores that I shop I look at their weekly specials before making my grocery list. Then I go to my index card box where I have typed or written out menus for suppers. I've categorized the meals behind the tabs: Beef, Poultry, Fish, Pork, and Other (Meatless). I also have a Desserts section. Example: Marinated Chicken would be at the top of the 3x5 index card. Below I've listed side dish options to go with it. Then to the right side I have the ingredients I'll need to prepare the meal. On the back, I've typed the recipe out so I don't have to go "digging" for it every time I want to cook it.

one way I have found that cuts down on our grocery shopping is to buy a case of each vegetable such as green beans, peas, corn, tomatoes, ect. now that we do not live in a big city any longer an the closet town to shop in is 10 miles away it has help alot.
I do this now also..and have my sales paper of area sales emailed to..I plan at home yes I allow for extra item or two.
