Serious question, does anyone else plan their whole week of dinners around what's on sale at the store that week?
I used to just write out a meal plan on Sunday, buy everything full price, and drop like $140 at Kroger every trip. Now I check the weekly ad first and build the whole menu around whatever meat is marked down, so chicken thighs at $1.79 a pound means stir fry Monday and sheet pan dinner Tuesday. Last week I got a pork shoulder for $8 and it fed us for four nights plus lunches. My husband thinks I'm nuts for going to two different stores but I'm saving around $60 a week. How far do you all go with this, do you hit multiple stores or just take what one place has?
