I try to make a dinner menu for 2 weeks at a time. I sit down on Sunday with the store fliers and check to see what type of meat is on sale. I will pick 2-3 types of meat, poultry or pork and use those as my base. I then search on Allrecipes.com or through my cookbooks to find recipes that use these types of meat. I make the rest of my shopping list with items needed for the recipes and things that are on sale. I try to match coupons with what is on sale and have noticed a small savings. I am doing the CVS thing too but find that I buy things I don't really need b/c I will get extra bucks. I am trying to stay away from that.
I am also thinking about planting a small vegetable garden this spring.
