Step 3: The Reality

Let me guess - One of your expenses that might need attention is FOOD/GROCERIES/ EATING OUT/TAKEAWAYS Yes me too - Huge shock to me how much I spent each week on food to feed the family.

This part is for the frustrated mum who wants to save time & money feeding her family.

Discover how I lowered my grocery spending by at least $600 every month!! Yes that was one whole weekly wage - this allowed me to start my online business.

Become the kryptonite to rising grocery prices so you can finally

• pay off debt,

• take that family vacation,

• save for retirement

• and so much more!

No this does not mean Beans on toast for months on end. I have so many tips and tricks that I can share with you so that you can not feel restricted or less than... just follow along.

Firstly - Lets Take A Look At Why You Can No Longer Ignore How Much You’re Spending On Groceries:

The average New Zealand family of 4 spends over $1,600 on groceries every month… about $400 per week. I here you say "but that is heaps I dont spend that each week at the local supermarket!!!.

SPOILER ALERT - when I did my budget totals - we were WELL ABOVE THAT like double... don’t let that be you!

I had a "budget" at the supermarket.

But then you add the trip to the dairy,

the lunch here,

the takeaway coffee there,

kids lunch here

the dinner takeaway once or twice a week (a least) there -

BOOM - BUDGET BLOWN TO PIECES - we were rocking a lot more than I expected.

No wander I had no money at the end of the week!

And remember....

Every month you overspend is another month you could be savings hundreds or thousands of dollars.

I hear you growning...

But saving money doesn’t have to be hard or time consuming.

All you need is a plan and routine that works for you!

Some light reading to help...

Grocery Prices - Kids - meal prep - shopping - budgeting - work - life - AHHHHH its all stressing you out?

Mumma - I see you!!

You're tired of feeling like your children are eating you out of house and home.

You're tired of feeling stress every night around dinnertime.

Your tired of eating shit food, getting takeaways or just making egg on toast because you are tired and over it.

You're feeling stuck in a never-ending cycle of shopping, spending more than want, running out of food, and having to shop again.

You feel like you're spending MORE and MORE money every month.

Here's what you're up against:

You have to find time and energy to sit down every week and think of meals that are budget friendly, kid friendly, easy to cook, healthy, and delicious, right?!

And that's not to mention finding the recipes that will hopefully turn out just as good as you want them to be.

Then you've got to go make a grocery list and shop to get all those items for the said meal plan.

Then you have to cook and prepare every meal!

Then the little bastards dont eat it.

One kid only likes nuggets, the other is on a diet, hubby is late back from work and you are FUCKING TIRED.......

You're at your wits end with grocery prices, feeling like you are doing a bad job, and hate how much you spend.

You need a plan to fit your needs.

One that is simple, easy, quick and actually works.

so that you can get back to enjoying dinnertime again.

... if this sounds like you, then this was literally made for you

Step 4: LETS GET ORGANIZED!!!

Which one of these describes your shopping situation right now?

• You spend too much on groceries.

• You don't know what to meal plan each week.

• You go to the grocery store several times a week & at the checkout you’re always amazed at how much it costs.

• You want to eat healthy, but feel like you can’t do that on a budget.

If Any Or All Of This Is You, then I Am Willing To Bet You Are Overspending Hundreds Of Dollars Every Month!

Something had to change!!!

REMEMBER HOW I ASKED EARLIER ABOUT HOW YOU EAT AN ELEPHANT?

(NO PLEASE DONT EAT AN ELEPHANT IT IS A METAPHOR).

The first step, if you are a good student, and I know you are .. is to know how deep the hole is (your debt and how much you spend)

The second step is to find out what drives you - (your why) that will stop you when you order that pizza when you don't need to.

Now we get to the THIRD STEP - Get clear.... Find a path, get organized!!!!

Predict the future by creating it

You didn’t come this far to stop
