After reviewing our finances and spending, I realized that I spend WAY too much money on food. I decided something had to give. So I am going to budget $35 a week for food. Yes you read that right...$35 a week on groceries! Can this be done? Well time will tell! One advantage I have is that we are not big meat eaters, so we don't spend a lot on that. And when we do buy meat, we look for reduced prices and stock up and freeze it.
Today I did our weekly grocery shopping and I am $3 under budget! YAY! However I have a good stockpile of food, so I really didn't have too much to buy. We will see how next week goes.
I am VERY determined to make my goal each week! It's kind of fun to make a dollar "stretch"!
