As two busy mums running households as well as businesses, can be quite a challenge. From managing work, family, and all of the day to day, it can be overwhelming at times. And we all know that one of the most critical aspects of running a household is also managing the weekly food shopping budget. With the rising cost of food and inflation, it is essential to be organised and plan ahead to ensure that our family’s nutritional needs are met without breaking the bank.
As the owners of a brand that is all about coaching clients through business and life, Elisha & Kate Co., one of the questions that we are asked the most is how you run two busy companies, manage staff, do all of the mum things and organise your week of shopping, budget and food in general.
So, we often share these tips with our followers. We feel that if we can help busy mums organise their weekly food shopping budgets, it can just make their week a little more stress free and a lot more productive:
- Plan your meals ahead of time: Planning your meals in advance is a great way to ensure that you know what you need to buy at the grocery store. It can also help you avoid last-minute trips to the store, which can be time-consuming and expensive. Make a list of the meals you plan to prepare for the week and make a list of the ingredients you will need.
- Create a grocery budget: Determine how much you can afford to spend on groceries each week and stick to that budget. It can be helpful to break down your budget by category, such as fresh produce, meat, dairy, and non- perishables.
- Buy in bulk: Buying in bulk can be an effective way to save money, especially on non-perishable items. Look for deals on bulk items such as rice, pasta, and canned goods.
- Look for deals: Keep an eye out for deals on items you regularly purchase. Many grocery stores offer loyalty programs that can provide additional discounts and savings.
- Shop around: Don’t be afraid to shop around at different grocery stores to find the best deals. Some stores may have lower prices on specific items, while others may have better deals on produce or meat.
- Consider meal prepping: Meal prepping can be a great way to save time and money. By preparing meals in advance, you can avoid the need for takeout or expensive last-minute meals. Consider cooking large batches of meals and freezing them for later use.
- Don’t waste food: Wasting food can be a significant drain on your budget. Be mindful of the expiration dates on items and plan your meals accordingly. Use leftovers for lunches or repurpose them into other meals.
We know that managing a weekly food shopping budget can be a daunting task for busy families. However, with careful planning, organisation, and some smart shopping strategies, it is possible to provide your family with healthy, nutritious meals while staying within your budget. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your grocery shopping trips are efficient, cost-effective, and stress-free.
