About those grocery posts…

So, you guys left lots of great comments when I asked what frugal things you’re struggling with last week…I’m so glad I asked!

A very common theme was that you want help with food spending, so I’ll make sure to do some blogging about that.

Also, a lot of you said you missed the grocery/menu posts that I used to do.

(Which is sort of surprising to me, because when I did them every week, they didn’t seem to get a whole lot of traffic. Although that may be because I posted them on Saturdays.)

Anyway, I’d assumed that most of you weren’t interested, and plus, I was looking to simplify my blogging a bit, so I canned that feature about a year ago.

I don’t think I want to go back to doing them every single week, partially because that would be a lot of work for me (arranging your groceries for a photo when you get back from shopping is a little bit exhausting.), and partially because when you only blog three days a week, a weekly feature tends to not leave room for other blog posts (that’s why I do Q&A and Food Waste Friday posts only every other week now.)

So, I’m thinkin’ that maybe I’ll do a grocery/menu post once or twice a month. That way it won’t be a ton of work for me, and it won’t take over zee whole blog.

I’ve also made notes about the other topics you all wanted to hear more about (fun on a budget, mindful spending, gift giving, contentment, goal posts, and more!), and I’ll work on addressing those in the coming months.

I really appreciate so many of you taking the time to give feedback. I want my blog to serve you well, and so hearing what you need help with is, well, super helpful to me. Thank you!

The menus/food combo helped me too! Thanks for doing them again. :)

I forget, do you still post your weekly menus? I love your shopping trip ones, reminds me how healthy I should be eating and even frugaly!

Yay I love these posts! I like to get a visual so I can make better choices when I grocery shop. Since I started reading your blog I've been cooking from scratch much more than before. I noticed in one post that you bought bananas that were different colors. I started doing that as well and I never thought to do that before and that has been helpful in cutting down on my family's banana waste. And I also started going to more than one store.

I also liked that when we saw your menu plan you often have links to your cooking post so we can see exactly how to make the item. But I can see how taking the photo take a lot of effort. When I get home from the grocery store I try to unpack my bags as quickly as possible so I can rest.

It would be interesting to have you do a blog about your groceries, menu planning and then follow up later regarding the related food waste. Did you use up everything that you purchased?

Once a month would be nice.
