Keep track of how much money you spend. Everytime you go to the store sit down with the recipt and keep a detailed list of what you bought, what store you bought it in and what day you bought it.
Be sure to note if the items were on sale or if you got a discount for buying more than one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will soon find that certain items are bought on a regular basis. Make another spreadsheet of just the items you buy regularly. Track the date, the day of the week, the price and the store you bought them in.
This will help you figure out where you should go for your shopping and what day of the week.
Remember: Save money on what you buy most and save more, regularly.
Marcus did this for the longest time on everything we bought, we have a pattern now of what we buy and where.
