Ok...homegirlbound. I feel your pain. The best thing to do is to make a list and stick to it. Use your sales ads as a guide for your shopping and build your meal plans around what is on sale..
Set aside a certain amount with which to build your stockpile. Even if it's $10-$20 a paycheck... eventually you will build a fabulous stockpile.
I recommend evaluating your bills. What else can you cut out, reduce, or eliminate? Unplug everything that is not currently in use, or use a strip with a switch and flip it off. Revisit your car insurance bill, are you paying too much for "add ons" you don't really need?
