Ok I said today was planning day and that is what I did. I took the grocery store flyers, and stack of coupons I clipped and went to work. My first problem is Walmart. They don't send out a flyer so I don't know if the grocery store sale plus the coupon is a better deal. Also the store sale is contingent with buying 5 of the item which is ok because they are non perishable items but I'll need to find a place to store them and what if they are out of the item because the circular came out Friday and I shop on Monday. I have resolved myself to this risk because it is my first attempt at coupon shopping. I know it will take a few months to find a system that works for me. Any advice would be ever helpful and totally appreciated!
Also we have quite a few left overs and an out of town event so my grocery list is very small this week. This is what I came up with:
Week of Dec 30-Jan 5
Monday: Shepherd's Pie made with left over beef roast and mash potatoes
Tuesday: New Year's Eve - grilled steaks with roasted red potatoes and green beans
Wednesday: New Year's Day - Hoppin' John (you can see how I make it

Thursday: left overs from freezer
Friday: Dine Out
Saturday: Grandson's Birthday
Sunday: left overs from freezer
