Grocery Shopping should be a four letter word!

Grocey shopping.  It has been four years since my daughter got married and left our household, and I still can't seem to get the hang of grocery shopping for two.  If I am not out of milk, then the bread is moldy.....if I even have bread.  I've had the same box of Cheerios in my pantry for over two years.  I should probably throw out my sugar and flour.  I don't bake anymore and don't remember how long it has been since I bought it.

I tried meal planning.  But, my husband and I are often too tired to cook so we do a lot of spontaneous carrying or dining out.  And, because I am kidding myself about saving money, I shop at various places to get the best deals.  Walmart and Aldi's for pantry items.  Sam's Club for meat, cereal and frozen foods.  Often we'll have a freezer full of meat and no cheese or fresh veggies.  Likewise, we'll have two huge boxes of cereal from Sam's Club, but no milk.

I used to kinda like grocery shopping.  I was confident about what I needed and felt a sense of accomplishment when it was done and put away.  Now, as I put away the groceries, I am making another shopping list of the things I still needed or just forgot.

Any tips on how to get my grocery shopping organized???
