[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 425095, member: 6546"] Heather-- This is exactly why I use the "category" method. I make sure that I cover all my needs first. I also decide the dollar amount I want to spend FIRST - before I even check the ads. So, for example, I might say...well, I only want to spend $60 this week. Publix and BiLo have really good sales this week. So let me see what I can get for $30 at Publix and $30 at BiLo. Making sure all my bases are covered first, I know it will cost $x to get eggs, bread, milk, meat. Then I will spend the rest of my budget getting as many good deals as I can. (and when there are freebies and items that cost only a few cents after coupons, I can get a lot of extras.) [/QUOTE]
