After trying out the new service at my local grocery store, I decided to write up a Kroger Clicklist Review. I was not compensated for this post at all, but I thought others might benefit from reading about my experience. Get all the nitty gritty details here!
Kroger Clicklist lets you order all your groceries online from the comfort of home. Then you pickup your groceries without ever leaving your car.
This type of service is becoming popular around the United States. So do some research to see if your local grocery stores provide it yet!
Clicklist has gone through some big changes since it was first introduced in 2016. (In fact, they are now calling it Kroger Pickup instead of Clicklist.)
Is it right for you?
Here’s how to decide.

Did you happen to notice that this is week number 40 in the 5 Ways We’ve Saved Money This Week series?? I’m so excited to have reached another milestone!
I wasn’t sure how long I would be able to keep up with this series when I first began writing it. Each week I find it a challenge to come up with another 5 ways we’ve saved without being too repetitive. But the challenge is good for me, especially in our #yearofno.

Welcome to meal planning Monday! The best part about doing meal plans on a 2 week basis is that I only have to fuss with this job twice a month or so. In the past I have even done my meal planning and shopping on a monthly basis, but it just isn’t practical in this season of life. So every 2 weeks it is!

Happy Friday! It’s time to recap the week and talk about our frugal wins.
I’ll admit, we had a bit of an expensive week. Three of our kids went to camp (which added up to a pretty tidy sum of money). But we had decided that these camp experiences were important and worth the investment. So it wasn’t money wasted, but carefully spent.

You need these summer potluck recipes in your life! Keep them on hand and everyone will be begging for the recipe at your next gathering.
Aren’t potlucks great?? It’s such a simple way to entertain guests without spending a fortune. I know I never mind bringing along a dish when my family is invited to a party.
And each time I throw a party, most of my guests will ask what they can bring. I’m not sure if that’s good old midwestern politeness or if it’s just that I have great friends and family.
Either way… it’s a good idea to keep a list of summer potluck recipes on hand. Then you’ll always be ready for that last minute gathering!
