In my last post, I mentioned that I do about one big shopping trip a month. That is why I use the Hot and Cold Thermal Bags for my cold or frozen foods, as I am usually out shopping for a few hours. We started shopping this way as we only had one vehicle and gas prices were on the rise.

If you are looking to save both money on groceries and on gas, it may be best to schedule a similar monthly shopping trip. Another alterative is to shop every other week instead of weekly. This may give you the opportunity to stock up on the items that you need when they are on sale, as the chances of everything you need being on sale at the same time are slim to none.

The only downside to planning one large monthly shopping trip is the items that you may forget or the items that you may need later on. For these extras, you are urged to do your shopping when you are already out running errands, whether it be returning from work or attending a doctor’s appointment. This means that you shouldn’t have to waste gas just to get a gallon of milk.
