Our menus include breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.
Regarding Coupons:
On occasion we DO use coupons; with that said, our weekly menus are NOT based on coupon use. There are really great deals out there- and oftentimes if one is diligent enough, one can get free groceries/cleaners, etc. However, this requires considerable effort, regardless of the sites that tell you it's simple. Here are several reasons that this is not so:
- It requires you to go to several different stores several times per week in order to find and take advantage of the best deals.
- It requires you to find,buy and clip coupons, or seek them out online from "coupon clipping services" and purchase them, which is time consuming.
- Stores are becoming less and less helpful at receiving multiple coupons in a transaction.
- Cashiers at said stores are often not educated about basic coupon lingo such as the difference between a purchase (single item) and a transaction (entire order) and make life a living hell when attempting to use coupons.
With that said, we do sometimes use coupons, but only on when it's absolutely convenient for us.
