Well now onto the shopping!! One of the things that I am trying to do is streamline my grocery shopping. The fewer times you  go to the grocery store each week (along with following your list) the less money you spend!  So I am trying to really figure out exactly how much of things we use each week and making myself only grocery shop once a week.  For example we are big milk drinkers in our house, so I have been tracking how much milk we drink so that I can buy that many gallons at the beginning of the week. I am also paying attention to the items that we use and taking notice and making a list on cost at each store. For example my kids favorite cereals- I have a list in the back of my planner and I jot down how much that cereal is at each place I am at. I am really trying to do that for each of the "staples" for our household. Then I can look at the difference in price and decide- is it worth driving to another store for the savings that I would receive?
