Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 10, 2014

Are you spending more on groceries every month than your budget allows? Would you like to reduce your grocery spending? Are you an impulsive grocery shopper? The grocery bill can get out of control for me if I’m not careful. This year, I need to reduce our grocery spending and I need to succeed.

Back in January I introduced the 2014 Grocery Budget Challenge. I really wanted to reduce our grocery spending for my family of 4 from the average of $634 a month in 2013 to a budget of $450 a month in 2014. Through out the year, my grocery spending ranged from $425 – 500 a month.

The Goal of the Grocery Budget Challenge is to be creative with our meal planning and grocery shopping so that we do not over-spend. We don’t want to make our families miserable with bland meals, boring snacks, and not enough food in the house, but we must stay on budget. My budget is $450.

Our Savings: $67 a month or almost $800 a year. Our savings: $55 a month or $660 a year. In 2013, our average monthly grocery spending was $635. I knew I could do better, so in January 2014, I made a commitment to reduce our grocery spending, but not sacrifice the quality of food and meals that I fed my family.

In 2021, I wanted to increase our savings but didn’t attach any number to it, so we floundered that year away. In 2022, I wanted to do a major purge of our home , and that lasted until about January 15 of 2022 when I reorganized our kitchen cabinets. We have a number that we want to save for each daughter.
