I’m  a busy mom. Actually, I’ve yet to meet a mom who isn’t busy. With the kids, hubby, work, school and my blog I keep pretty darn busy. I’ve decided to share each week on the blog places and things that make my life easier as a mom. This week I want to feature Fresh & Easy.

We love  shopping at Fresh & Easy at home. We do not have one nearby and since discovering this awesome little market, I’ve been driving for twenty minutes once a week to the nearest store. Yes that is how much I love the place! I’m planning on heading on vacation next next week and will be stopping by our prepared snacks because their selection is great!

I was invited by Fresh & Easy a couple of weeks ago to check out their Eat Well prepared meals and let me tell you they are amazing! They are healthy and delicious! I’ve picked up a couple of their entrees and I absolutely love them. Actually I haven’t found one thing that I haven’t fallen in love with at Fresh and Easy. Their prepared section is delish!

Thanks in part to my friend Katie  ,who first introduced me to Fresh & Easy, I have now cut my grocery bill in almost half. She inspired me and I now spend about $100 a week to feed my family of four for the week. Here is how she does it…

Katie, from ocmomactivities, writes..
 I spend $100/ a week on groceries for our family of four (yes, that includes lunches for the kids at school)! It all started a few months ago when I got tired of how high our grocery bill was getting with multiple “quick stops” in to the local grocery store to pick up things here and there. It had to stop. I’m not sure if my biggest motivation was saving money or if it was just being organized for the week so we weren’t scrounging around for last minute dinners. An added side bonus is my husband now cooks most of the dinners! Don’t believe me? Well, as you’ll see below the dinners are easy, fast, healthy and super easy on the budget.

Katie, has a great Frugal Friday series that you have to checkout. I’ve picked up some great tips.
