Grocery Shopping the Week before Pay Week

​Here's my tip for the last week of the pay cycle (monthly paid- I hate it!). Go to the Coles online site and create a shopping list of everything you need. Then delete anything you can go without until you reach your budget amount (or the amount you have to spend, we all know that sometimes they vary!). Print the list, then shop for it. Not only will it be cheaper in store but you can compare brands and prices easily and you already know exactly what you're buying and the estimated price.  And remember while you're shopping that one week of frozen peas and corn instead of fresh won't kill them and generic canned fruit made into jelly cups at least gives them some fruit at a reasonable price.
