Master Grocery List |
|
|
A few months ago there was a "master" weekly (or maybe monthly) grocery list on this group that listed what items are on sale and which staples to stock up on when; using this plan, you can drastically reduce your grocery bill. Now, I cannot find the list on thriftyfun.com; anyone know where it is, or how to shopping this way? Thank you!

RE: Master Grocery List
I looked over your list, which sounded like a very good idea...but after taking a closer look, you have allocated .33 (1/3) pound of sugar per person per day and about a pound of flour per day. How do you use all these items should the occasion arise?
RE: Master Grocery List
Set aside $5 a week to buy the specific items each week. You will have a kitty set aside that you put the $5 in and you can't touch it for any reason but to buy the food storage item for that week. Put in the remaining change back into the kitty. Some things in the beginning are going to be cheap and then later will be more expensive. In order to pay for the expensive stuff later you need to keep the leftover money in the kitty. Weeks 38 and 44 you will have "off" to replenish the kitty. Week 1: 2 cans tuna fish, 2 boxes salt Week 2: 5 boxes of Macaroni and Cheese, 4 cans tomato soup Week 3: 3 cans mushroom soup, 1 2.5 lb peanut butter Week 4: one bottle 365 count multi-vitamins Week 5: 4 cans tomato soup, 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 6: 1 bottle aspirin (500 tablets) Week 7: 1 100 lb container wheat Week 8: 1 5 lb powdered milk Week 9: 1 5 lb honey Week 10: 4 cans tuna, 4 boxes macaroni and cheese Week 11: 1 10 lb sugar, 1 box salt Week 12: 4 cans mushroom soup Week 13: 1 bottle 365 count multi-vitamins Week 14: 1 100 lb wheat Week 15: 1 box macaroni and cheese Week 16: 1 5 lb honey Week 17: 2 cans tuna, 4 can tomato soup Week 18: 1 10 lbs sugar Week 19: 1 100 lbs of wheat Week 20: 2 10lbs of sugar Week 21: 1 10lb powdered milk Week 22: 1 can mushroom soup, 1 10 lb sugar Week 23: 1 can tuna, 4 cans tomato soup, 1 10 lbs sugar Week 24: 1 10 lbs sugar Week 25: 2 cans tuna, 2 cans mushroom soup Week 26: 1 100 lb wheat Week 27: 3 10 lbs sugar Week 28: 1 10 lb sugar Week 29: 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 30: 2 10 lb sugar Week 31: 1 can tuna, 3 cans mushroom soup Week 32: 1 can tuna, 4 cans tomato soup Week 33: 1 100 lb wheat Week 34: 2 cans tuna, 1 box salt Week 35: 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 36: 2 10 lb sugar Week 37: 4 cans tomato soup, 2 boxes salt Week 38: Stash $5 in the kitty Week 39: 1 100 lb wheat Week 40: 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 41: 3 10 lb sugar Week 42: 2 cans tomato soup, 1 10 lb sugar Week 43: 2 cans tomato soup, 2 cans mushroom soup Week 44: Stash $5 in the kitty Week 45: 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 46: 4 cans tomato soup, 4 cans mushroom soup Week 47: 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 48: 4 cans mushroom soup, 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 49: 7 cans of tomato soup Week 50: 7 cans of mushroom soup Week 51: 2 10 lbs sugar, 1 box salt By the end of the 52 weeks, you should have: 700lbs of wheat, 240 lbs sugar, 40 lbs of powdered milk, 13 lbs of salt, 10 lbs of honey, 5 lbs of peanut butter, 45 cans of tomato soup, 32 cans mushroom soup, 15 cans tuna fish, 10 macaroni and cheese dinners, 500 aspirin, and 730 multiple vitamins They suggest adding 6 lbs of dried yeast and 6 lbs of shortening and this should be enough to sustain 2 people for a year. For every 2 people you have in your family add $5 more and double or triple the amount of whatever you are buying that week.
