I made it this week on the budget and was able to stock up on some items. My husband said that he budgeted our grocery bill for $800.00 a month but my personal goal is to get it to $600.00 a month. I am currently at $375.00. Which means I am over by $75.00.
Isn’t it amazing how much you can buy at Wal-Mart! Well hopefully with some of the items you bought can spill over in to the next week. $800 deos seem a lot for a grocery bill in a month. So what are your plans if you save $200?
I agree, some of it should carry over – so you should go down next week. One thing I have started doing – because we were going through 4 jugs of milk a week – is making tea (which 3 of the 5 in our family like, 1 of those who doesn’t – doesn’t drink milk). The kids were wasting milk too – so I pour less, have a finish your cup policy – and when they come in from outside or need a drink between meals – I give them tea instead (sweetened with 1/2 sugar, 1/2 splenda).
