Grocery shopping these days feels more like taking out a second mortgage—especially if you’re feeding a big family. In this episode, I sit down with Tara from the Orriant Wellness Podcast (for the third time!) to talk about all things grocery budgeting in this wild economy. From Costco egg hacks to fighting impulse buys, we’re covering it all.
We also dive into why budgeting for food isn’t just about the money—it’s about mindset, meal planning, and making peace with your real life and real numbers. This episode is filled with practical strategies and mindset shifts to help you spend smarter without sacrificing the joy of feeding your family.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why planning meals and your money is the secret to grocery success
- How to avoid impulse buys (hint: don’t bring the kids!)
- What to do when your grocery budget blows up—and how to bounce back with grace
- The power of a “fend for yourself” night to reduce waste and raise capable kids
- How to calculate a realistic per-person grocery budget that works for your household
- Why financial wellness is emotional—and how small choices today build a lasting legacy
