I’m a big fan of Zero Based Budgeting. Do you know how much money is flowing in and out of your bank accounts? One way to track your spending is to log all of your purchases, bills, atm withdrawals, and any outgoing on notebook paper at the end of each day. 2 – Track your cashflow. 5 – Plan ahead.

We also don’t want to come home to a credit card bill. Maybe you don’t want to cook at all during your vacation or maybe eating out for every meal is beyond what your budget can handle. For dinner, we''ll plan to eat in on 5 nights and eat out 2 nights. It is so much cheaper to buy at home than on vacation.

These are strategies I use weekly to keep my grocery bill in line with our budget.

That is a lot of money, so I plan our meals.
