A Well Crafted Grocery List


Please welcome to the blog E.F. Cussins who describes himself as "son of a factory worker who loves technology and saving money." His guest post is about a well crafted grocery list and I have to admit I didn't expect it. But I'm intrigued. Go on read it you know you want to.

Have you ever experienced looking in the refrigerator, in the cupboard, and in the pantry, then say to yourself "There is nothing in the house to eat"? Has the very same thing ever happen the day after doing the weekly grocery shopping? If is has then you are not alone. Finishing the weekly grocery shopping, then not find anything in the kitchen that was appetizing is a sign of bad shopping. 

The refrigerator is full. The kitchen pantry is full. Still the mind and taste buds go blank as to what to fix for dinner. At this point so families jump into the family car and heads to the local McDonald's. So instead of spending $1 or $2 per person on that dinner, now it costs $5 or more per person.
I understand everyone likes to go out to dinner. There are times where I even get a craving for a big greasy hamburger that is made from the local hamburger joint down the street. What I am writing about is putting together a menu plan and grocery list makes the family want to eat at home.
