Trying something new.

For the month of September I've decided to try something new. I'm going to make a menu for the month of September and then make a huge grocery list off that list. I'm going to buy everything on that grocery list except fresh fruit and veggies.
Then weekly I'm going to shop deals to stock up on items. I seem to keep getting in this rut of spending all my monthly grocery money on deals early in the month and then at the end of the month we are having to scrape by. I'm a little tired of living like that.
I have a pretty good stockpile built up and then we go through it at the end of the month. With school starting I now have to worry about packing lunches and it makes it hard.
I figure if I buy everything that I need at the start of the month then just keep adding to the stockpile that maybe just maybe the month of October when I go to do the monthly shopping trip it might be a little less due to being stocked up. At least this is my hope.
Of course I'll also make my menu with some things that we already have here at the house, to help with the cost.
Plus since I've started doing Weight Watchers and working out this will help me better plan out my meals.
