I had gone to the cabinet one night and there was not enough to make a meal. I told the Lord, I will have to go to work (we had made a personal decision I would not work while kids were at home-40 years ago.) if I do not have enough food.<br />The next morning I went out to the car and on my freezer was 2 boxes of food from our church and I had not told anyone how bad my pantry was.<br />The Lord is so good.nanasknollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139961128588102280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609957991100287914.post-23111379929486114282011-12-02T05:55:23.783-08:002011-12-02T05:55:23.783-08:00I find that shopping every two weeks works best fo...I find that shopping every two weeks works best for me. I like the envelope method, but my husband does not, so I used the debit card. I try to spend only around $100.00 every two weeks, at Save a Lot or Wal-Mart. I do pick up specials at other stores in between. I've been tracking our monthly expenses, and we do better on groceries than almost any other area.

I find that I do better if I buy monthly, in the way that failed you. We shop our "big" grocery hauls at the military commissary about 20 miles away, so I go there to buy most of my meat and nonperishables for the whole month. Then I only need to fill in the gaps with fresh produce and dairy items from local grocery stores as needed.<br /><br />Isn't it amazing how the Lord works that way?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609957991100287914.post-77864990558429474252011-11-19T17:23:07.846-08:002011-11-19T17:23:07.846-08:00I am glad things are working out for you.

I knew God had placed that there for us! I was humbled once again (for the umpteenth time) by my lack of faith.
