You decide to go to the pantry for<br> a snack. While scouring through the pantry for a snack, all you find is boxes of Hamburger Helper. That\u2019s it, it\u2019s time to head over to H-E-B for some groceries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve got the car keys in hand, ready to go shopping. Halfway out the door you realize you don\u2019t exactly know everything you\u2019re going to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before leaving your house, pull out a sheet of paper and look through the<br> pantry and also the refrigerator and write down everything you might<br> need until your next trip to the store. It\u2019s best to not only write down what<br> you need, but how many of that item you might need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget your list when you go to the store, when you lose your list,<br>you lose your money. Losing your list leads to over buying, and the goal is to save money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to head over to the grocery store. The stack of advertisements for that week are on full display, everyone else is taking one. Pick one up and look for coupons or deals of the week. This is another easy way to save<br> money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve walked in and forgot a basket, go back and get one. You probably won\u2019t be able to handle carrying everything while looking at your list and answering texts while you shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your list consists of 15 items, and you vow to only buy those items so<br> you can save money. Cereal is the next item to get, turning into the aisle you see an employee who just stocked a large amount of Fruit Roll-Ups. They\u2019re not on your list, and it\u2019s almost an extra $4 you can<br> save in you pass on them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you grab the cereal, you open the advertisement book and you notice the Fruit Roll-Up boxes are two for $5. You debate if buying them is worth it, but I say, just treat yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve got all the items, check out and don\u2019t forget the coupons. Also, make sure the employee bags every single item, you don\u2019t want to pay for something that you\u2019ll end up not having.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Double bag the eggs and refrigerate the cold foods immediately. Remember, it\u2019s never too early to start planning the next trip to the grocery store. Ask mom. She knows best anyway. Trial and error- Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re sitting down on your couch watching television and all of a sudden, \u201cgrrr\u201d your stomach starts growling.
