You do not need to shop every week.
I can hear you now. There is this deal that I can’t miss or that deal I would die if I didn’t get. It may sound crazy but the reason we stockpile is so that sometimes we can take a break.
In my house we frequently have stockpile weeks. Other than perishables we don’t shop because we don’t need it. This gives you the opportunity to eat off of your stockpile and use that couponing time for something else.
You may miss a deal. However, wait 13 weeks and you will most likely see it again.
Do you ever skip a week? Do you feel bad missing a deal or do you just move on with your life?

My goal is to stay under $50/week for awhile for groceries because we do have a pretty good stockpile and really only need to replenish milk, bread and fresh fruit and veggies now. Get the garden going and a few of those can come off the list as well!
