For 2008, I had to dig through several boxes to get the early-Christmas stuff out (Advent calendars, candles, etc.) As the season wore on, I had to dig through the same boxes for mid-season stuff such as Christmas wrap and party supplies. Finally, on Christmas Eve, I had to dig through those...

This is one area where I am not so good. If I plan a menu, I spend much less than if I just wander around the store. I also HATE grocery shopping so this will help me to be in and out quicker. I usually grocery shop on Friday so my menus will go from Friday to Thursday. I am going to...
