I was a single mom and learned how to grocery shop on a budget. I meal-plan on the fly based on sales and still afford occasional treats.

• I was a single mom for seven years and learned to shop on a budget.
• I've since remarried, but I still use the skills I learned during that time when I grocery shop.
• I make sure to buy healthy food for my family without overspending.

As a single mom, I had to learn how to make my income work for my son and me. When it came to buying groceries, I was determined to prepare healthy meals for us without having to go broke in the process.
