Saving Money on Your Grocery Bill: Part 2

So it's been forever since my last post. Sorry! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope its been great so far. Tax refund time is here for a few of us, and I am excited. After paying off a lot of our debts the second priority for me is stocking my pantry, freezer and fridge with healthy staples to feed my family. When I know my kitchen is fully stocked I have security as a wife and mother. It also saves me money on my grocery bill when I don't have to buy it for awile. This way I don't HAVE to buy any of these items until or unless it is on sale and/or has a good coupon. This way I can easily keep these items in full supply. This is what I'll be stocking up on:
