I did couponing, ad match, and stockpiling. I found it very time consuming to rely solely on loss leaders, not to mention unhealthy. I started asking God for help in being a good steward with our grocery budget. We had gained weight eating all that processed food. I love to cook and we love to eat! I had shopped at Aldis all my married life, 29+ yrs. Mostly to stock up on staples for my husband's winter lay offs due to his construction job. God began teaching me to eat foods He made instead of factory processed. Aldi has been my primary store for groceries for a while now. I only use other stores for the few name brand items Aldis doesn't carry. Now I almost always have some grocery cash left over to put in savings! Yes it takes a little time to cook from scratch or whole foods, but you control how much sugar and salt goes in and there are no preservatives!  We are loosing weight even using real butter!  This book provides menus, recipes and the grocery list for each week, I loved that. God has been after me to make a menu and ingredient list. I been putting that off because its hard to think of different meals, find the recipes, check the pantry and make the list...lol yes I know that sounds whiney even as I write it. Thankfully Carrie has done the hard part and a lot of her recipes my husband will eat!  I loved this book and highly recommend!
