Preparing to document money saving meals.

I have purchased a small journal and a shopping program to help with the documentation of my grocery shopping. The program I am using can sync my phone and laptop so it will be easier for me to blog all of my findings. I will also try to look at coupons and store sale fliers to see if they are a benefit to this endeavor. Since I do most of my shopping at Kroger and Sam's Club this blog will be able to give you some idea of where you can save and on which items, presenting to you a better idea of whether the membership clubs would be beneficial to you personally.

One item I can recommend that I think pays for it's self would be a food saver system to allow for airtight storage of meats and cheeses. I have found that all varieties of cheese are much cheaper at Sam's club and the quantity requires a great storage method to successfully save you money and so you do not end up losing to spoilage. Also, if you can find a cheese you like on sale at your regular market or deli ... saving with this type of storage will also help keep some money in your pocket.

Meat that freezes well would also be a candidate for this kind of storage. Ground Beef, Cubed Steak and chicken come out of the freezer sealed and easy to thaw and those particular items do not seem to suffer any extensive quality loss from being frozen. So if you can find them on sale stock up!

I am still organizing exactly how and what I need to begin doing a regular feature, and I will post again soon with some of my findings.
