The Grocery Reset: Save $600–$800/Month With Rachel Coon's Simple System

Listen Later

Grocery shopping might be the fastest way to free up hundreds of dollars a month—without cutting out the foods you love! In this episode, Madison sits down with Rachel Coons (the “grocery shopping mogul” behind the SHOP Method) to unpack why most families are unknowingly overspending on groceries and how a simple system can save both money and mental energy. They talk about building intentional grocery routines that reduce chaos, eliminate unnecessary store trips, and make weeknights easier—especially for moms juggling a lot. If you want a realistic, no-shame strategy to lower your grocery bill in a way that is aligned with your health goals (and works for any dietary restrictions or family size!), this conversation is for you.

 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The shocking average amount families overspend on groceries each month—and why it adds up fast
  • Why grocery spending is often the easiest budget to change (and the fastest way to get a “quick win” with your finances)
  • How to create awareness around your grocery spending without shame, guilt, or perfectionism
  • The biggest “red flags” that signal you’re overspending (including the one question that reveals it immediately)
  • Rachel’s two-week shopping approach—and how it saves time, stress, and money
  • How online grocery pickup/delivery can reduce spending by removing impulse buys and helping you track your subtotal in real time
  • How to keep your grocery “rules” aligned with your values—whether you shop at Whole Foods, Aldi, or anywhere in between
  • A practical boundary that saves families serious money: rethinking snacks and reducing pre-packaged convenience spending

    This Episode Is For You If…

    • You feel like grocery shopping is chaotic and you’re constantly making “quick trips” that turn into full carts.
    • You don’t know what you spend on groceries each month—and you suspect it’s more than you want.
    • You want to save money without falling into scarcity, shame, or “eat bland meals forever” energy.
    • You’re trying to pay off debt, start investing, or break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and need an obvious place to start.
    • You care about eating well (organic, gluten-free, dairy-free, whole foods, etc.) and want a system that works with your priorities.
    • Dinner time feels stressful and you want a smoother 5–7 p.m. routine that helps you show up calmer at home.
    • You want grocery spending to support your goals—vacations, freedom, savings, investments—not just disappear every week.
