We make a careful menu for the week and buy groceries for that weeks menu plus one treat per person. Then we eat all the food in the house down. I admit, if you look in my fridge, it is bare on Fridays and I mean simply nearly empty. I hate throwing food away and refuse to do so. This has helped us keep our food cost down to about $100 to $120/week. Disclaimer: we are vegetarians so our cost is always lower since we don't buy meat products. Now-I've found that sometimes we do binge-just like you did and for the same reasons. It's human nature and self forgiveness is fine. Yes, my DH says that my favorite meals are the end-of-the-week-whats-in-the-fridge omelettes. Hey, that sounds like the title of a post! Great discipline on the grocery lists, Sue! -- Lynn Don’t know if this will help any of your readers but here is what we’ve done since grad school.
