I can't believe it is already the weekend and it is weekend review time. This week I read Budget Savvy Diva's Guide to slashing your grocery bill by 50% or more by Sara Lundberg. For those of you who do not know who the Budget Savvy Diva is she is a blogger who has made popular the act of saving you money with all her tips. She has an amazing blog that can be found here . She has also written several great books with numerous money saving tips. In this particular book she focuses on how you can save big at the grocery store. Although I like to think of my self as a savvy shopper who doesn't go too overboard at the grocery store, there were several helpful hints in this book that I plan on using next time we hit the stores. The first thing that I really liked about the book is Ms. Lundberg starts at the beginning with menu planning. This is something that I am not always successful at. She talks about how you go from not planning at all to taking baby sets to becoming a supreme planner. I like that she uses easy tips and gives sort of the step by step on how to get more budget friendly. I enjoy the if you are doing nothing, here are the baby steps, then the next steps, then the final big picture. Without giving away all of the Diva's ideas my other favorite part of the book was the recipes. The end of the book is just filled with numerous budget friendly recipes, many of which are also kiddo friendly or good for those with picky eaters (kids or adults) in the house. In fact, I bookmarked a few for making this week. I would say if you are trying to trim your budget a bit this book is worth the purchase price because I am sure you would save that much in your first few trips to the store.

Non-GMO and organic food like frozen waffles, oatmeal, etc. Basically the connivence food for my toddler. I get lots at the Farmer's market but I need to supplement and so I spend more to get the best options at the grocery store.
I spend the most on produce since I get a lot of it really fresh at the farmer's market.
I end up spending the most on baby stuff: DIAPERS!!
