I know this is a long list and I will go over my weekly budget of $150, however; I have money carried over from previous weeks when I did little to no shopping. Remember that when you have a good stockpile you can "skip" weeks of shopping if the sales aren't good or if you are unable to get out. I still set aside that weeks grocery budget and carry it forward for weeks such as these.

You may also wonder about buying so many junk items such as chips, candy and cokes. Don't think we live on junk food, however; one of my current goals is to stockpile these types of items for upcoming summer camps, family reunions, vacations, etc. You will save a small fortune on these items if you bring them along on your trips rather than purchasing them at a convience store, snack stand, or even full price later at a grocery store. We travel monthly throughout the year in our RV and I like to keep heat-and-eat, snacks, etc on hand.
