Hi! I’ve been reading Money Saving Mom since 2007! And I love it!! These shopping trip/meal plan posts are my favorite. I love that it shows and inspires me to: keep it simple, no need to spend hundreds at the store each week, use coupons reasonably (some site are coupon crazzy ), and make real foods (not much processed), easy meals my family would actually but with variety and nutrition considered. I LOVE IT! PLEASE KEEP IT GOING! THANK YOU!!
