AM I THE ONLY ONE IN THE COUNTRY WHO DOESN'T PLAN A WEEKLY MENU?

I am all about the coupons... and saving on my grocery bills.
I love it when I score a free item, it gives me goose bumps!!!
So I visit a lot of blogs to get ideas. And you ladies are great at sharing information on who has what for the best price.
Every where I go, you have menus ready for the next week. For some reason I just can't make my self think that far ahead. So what is wrong with me? The rest of you seem to think it over, and have a plan.
I just come home open the fridge, stand there thinking, if I had a menu planned I wouldn't be standing here wondering what to fix.
So I think if everyone who reads this would leave me a word of
encouragement maybe it would help. Then I too, would be like the rest of you wonderful people, and have a plan.
Instead of standing at the fridge letting out all the cold air and runnning up the power bill.

Do you know about She Speaks?

SheSpeaks was created by a woman just like you who wanted to give all women a forum to express their opinions and connect with others.

It is now a community of smart and insightful women who come together to share our opinions and see the power of our collective voices in action.

SheSpeaks gives you many ways to have a say, including... testing products to inspire the companies who created them, writing your opinions on our blogs and discussion boards, creating your own product reviews, or getting expert advice on a range of topics to keep you in-the-know. And the best part is... we promise to never charge you a penny.
I just joined.. Can't wait to get started.

Save-a-dime: Ingles Triple coupons

This week only, Ingles is tripling coupons up to 50 cents, so check your 50 cent coupons, click the link and make sure this is available in your area. It is in Georgia.
The catch is, on every ten dollars you spend they will triple 3 coupons. They still double the others. I only took my 50 cent ones, that is a savings of a $1.50 per item.
My merchandise came to 61.78 before store sales and coupons. Drum roll please I paid 32.13 for my items not quite half but close.
If you go, let me know how this works for you.
