January Budget Review: New Attitude
started the month off with a new resolve to spend less money eating out. just couldn't bring myself to give up stockpiling, so my grocery spending was only slightly less than usual. Rather than dreading it, it's now a challenge to see what I can come up with without resorting to convenience meals or last minute grocery store runs. February I love the start of a new year. I love the feeling of optimism and the ideas of fresh starts. And

  • Breakdown of my grocery spending
    As you can see, coupons are not a large part of my grocery shopping strategy…I only used $3 worth this week.  Tags: Grocery Spendin A friend of mine(Hi, Tamika!) asked for another one of these types of posts, so I dug my receipts out of the recycling bag.  Keep in mind that this is not everything we’ll be eating this week, nor will we eat all of this over the course of the next 7 days.

  • Grocery Spending and Menu Plan-2.28

  • Grocery Spending and Menu Plan
    This week I decided to divide up my groceries and take two pictures; one of my Weis groceries($17.21)… …and 8230;and one of my Aldi groceries($35.74). However, after buying those things I got $5 in ExtraCare Bucks(they’re like cash to spend at CVS), so it was basically a wash. In addition to those two trips, I spent $5 at CVS…I got a bottle of Irish Spring body wash, a tube of Colgate Toothpaste, one Dry Idea deodorant, and two small boxes of Wheat Thins. Even if I add that in, though, I only spent $57.95, so I’m over $20 under
