Groceries is one budget category that can get out of control very quickly, and that’s before inflation. However, it can be an easy budget category to manage, but it takes some planning, skill, and organization. These are strategies I use weekly to help keep my grocery bill in line with our budget.

To achieve those goals I need to review our spending to see where I can make some cuts. If there is one budget category that can quickly get out of control for me, it is GROCERIES. Over the holidays, I wasn’t as diligent with my meal planning and our grocery bill went over what I budget for food.

Groceries are the one area in our household budget that I feel like I have the most control over. The weeks that I take the time to plan the menu are the weeks that I have control over our spending. I've been lazy in the past and just planned for the work week and ignored the fact that we do need to eat on the weekends.

During that time, I started to budget for everything. Every aspect of our lives was included in our budget. We got back on track with planning our spending and we were able to breathe again. Personally, budgeting has allowed us to control of our money, reach financial goals, and start planning for our dream life.
