A majority of people do not like to do grocery shopping, but we love to clothes or gadget shop. I am the same. I used to gasp at the cost of shopping and question myself how I had spent so much money on food.
Especially when I arrived home and viewed what I had purchased. At the time it felt that I had purchased lots, but really there was not a lot. Plus I would have to go to the grocery store by the end of the week, as I had not thought out my food plan in advance.
It can be daunting at first but even if you reduce your grocery shopping budget in stages it does help. It is important that all of your family are involved in reducing your grocery shopping. Otherwise, it will feel that you are having to cope on your own. Especially if your are doing this to clear debt or save for a holiday.
Explain to your family why and how you want to achieve family goals. For instance reducing debt or saving for a holiday. Try to show them in pounds, as this will motivate everybody to work with you.
Remember, simple steps can save you money.
