Faye is an amazing resource if you're looking to cut your grocery bill and save money on all kinds of things. Her workshop is a great place to get the information you need if you're starting new efforts to coupon and save money or just need a refresher. Plus, Faye makes it a lot of fun!

I have two pairs of tickets to give away.

1. Follow @wralmoms on Twitter and tweet once about the contest.

2. Answer the following question in the comments below: Faye recommends making weekly meal plans and shares her plans with her readers each week. Do you make a weekly meal plan? If so, do you stick with the plan?

I don't make meal plans because our meal revolve around what is on sale that week in the grocery stores. Whatever is on sale- that's what we eat ;)

I try and make a weekly meal plan. Even if it's not written, I do have a guide in my head. I have noticed on the weeks that I take the time to post my plan in the comments under Faye's plan, I do stick to it better. Accountability! :)

We try and plan it out but if I forget to lay something out that day I just mess that up.

I try to make a meal plan, but it is hard if we have a busy weekend. If I make one, I usually follow it.

i do make a meal plan, but always have the fixings for a favorite fast meal on hand, for when God decides to change my plans!

I don't usually make a weekly meal plan, but when I do I never stick to it! I try to think of ideas of things to make for dinner before grocery shopping so I know what to buy, but I usually end up cooking something different during the week.

No, I don't make a weekly food plan, but I think it would be a great way to make things easier at meal time!

I always make a weekly meal plan and am able to stick to it 4-5 days of the week. It always seems like something comes up and we need to grab something quick!
