Key Takeaways:

1. Do a Budget Audit: Track your grocery spending for one week to see where your money is really going (including those sneaky snack runs!).

2. Pinpoint Your Improvement Areas: Be brutally honest—are you eating out more than you thought? Not using a grocery list? Find those budget-busting habits and tackle them.

3. Set Realistic Goals: Don’t overwhelm yourself! Start by aiming to save $25 a week and pick 2-3 specific habits to change (like cutting back on coffee runs or making snacks at home).

4. Create a Verified Grocery List: Only buy what you need. Verify what’s in your pantry and fridge before heading to the store to avoid overspending on duplicates.

5. Meal Plan with a System: Plan your meals in 7-10 day stretches and use systems like freezer meals or cook once, eat twice to make dinnertime easier.
