Today is a new day. I can not keep my eyes open for more then 5 seconds at a time due to allergies, my nose (and the noses of my kin) will not stop running, I am having panic attacks about money and I am sure I will not be losing the 50lbs I was hoping to. But, today is a new day.
I went grocery shopping. Yes, I do want a medal.
I pre-shopped online, went to the ‘cheaper’ store and had, wait for it…1 coupon. Yep, my big dive into couponing started with 1. Baby Steps.
During my planning, I came across the site Once a Month Mom. You have got to be kidding me. Go. To. This. Site. Now.
I will wait.
Yep, bulk buying and cooking one day for a whole month. This site has menus, instructions, grocery lists, and printable labels. Pretty sure I just found my new obsession.
Not totally ready to delve into the whole thing, but it is a goal. How awesome would that be?!
For now, I am going to follow these recipes, freeze most of it and go from there!
Slow Cooker Sticky Drumsticks by Creatively Domestic
Enchilada Sauce (for some of the shredded beef) by Creatively Domestic
Shredded Beef Filling by Good Cheap Eats
Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs by Once a Month Mom
And for dinner tomorrow night, Roast Beef with Gravy. I will post a picture tomorrow, if it works 🙂
In addition to Once a Month Mom, another site I found is Soopermom, tons of recipes and (from what the titles say but I am not going to read) good tips.
And, on a side note, I am redonkulously excited to start doing some of my work out of my Dad’s office! I looked at my space today and can not wait! Almost there!!
Keep Ya Posted!
