Tackling Grocery Maintenance

It's time for Tackle It Tuesday with 5 Minutes for Mom .

Now, you may or may not have noticed that my presence on the blogosphere last week was slim. There is a reason for that. In the beginning of the year, I wrote this post about how I needed to get organized to let my creative juice flow freely. Well last week, I was working on my grocery management for this house. We needed this to improve our physical and financial health. To that regard, I implemented two new systems.

1. The first was the Living Cookbook . I love this software! It manages your recipes, calculates nutrition, helps with meal planning, tracks inventory and creates grocery lists.! It does everything but the dishes:-)

2. The second thing is The Grocery Game . This little tool makes coupon clipping and implementing a breeze!

I am so organized now, I don't know what I am going to do with all this free time:-) Hee, hee, hee.

It feels nice when you get yourself organized like that. We've been organizing for 3 months now and it's all starting to come together. We still have a few things to do but it's starting to pay off. WTG on getting organized. You seem like a very organized efficient person ever since I started reading your blog.

Happy Monday

I just celebrated my 1st year anniversary of Grocery Gaming & I love it! I saved over $9,000 on groceries last year.

Great tackles!

It takes a little work to simplify a process, but once you do, it is soooo worth it. Hmm... I need to put this into practice too. I've been putting off meal planning organization. I think the time is right, though. Thanks for the cyber nudge. ;)

I am totally off my game when it comes to grocery shopping and meal planning. I will have to check out the Living Cookbook. Congrats to you and thanks for the tip!

Faith said...

The Living Cookbook sounds very cool, I like that it creates grocery lists. I will have to check it out!

Robyn said...

Oh I'm going to have to check into that Grocery Game.

I haven't heard of the recipe software you mentioned, but I took a quick look at it, and I think it sounds amazing. I you'll do review of after you've used it for a couple months.

Alicia @ Oh2122 said...

You'll just ahve to start another blog to fill your days...

Wait.

A THIRD blog...

Courtney said...

Way to go. What a great feeling that would be :)

Elisabeth said...

I'm not into using coupons but I think this Living Cookbook sounds interesting. I'm going to check it out.

I started cooking recipes from the Southbeach Diet Cookbook again. I'm not following the diet's guidelines of step 1,2,3. I'm just implimenting healthier meals into my weekly plan rather than easier recipes that may not be so healthy. I'll have to check out these programs. Good job Susie!

littletoesandcheerios said...

Thanks for sharing those links with us! I'm going to check both of them out. Wonderful tackle!

HDMac said...

Yep, organization! lol... It does help.

Jen said...

You are soooo organized... I aspire to be more like you!

Debra said...
