Family Balance Sheet

AUGUST 6, 2022

We’ve seen higher grocery and fuel bills lately, so we’re upping our frugal game to help the budget. Our financial goals are still important to us and we want to hit them regardless of the rising prices. Credit Card Cash Back Redemptions in July: $196. I only use cards that offer some type of cashback offer.

You can even use a budgeting app if you need a little more support reaching your financial goal.

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.

If you do a weekly meal plan, you will know exactly what ingredients need to be bought during your next grocery shopping trip, including the ones you have and those you don’t. Unfortunately, many of us head out to the grocery stores armed with nothing but our credit card and a rough idea of what we need.

At the same time my credit card debt was slowly creeping upward too thanks to my minimal income. Could I knock $20 off my grocery shopping somehow? What are your financial goals now? This was further compounded by a number of other situations. Initially it all seemed fine. Could I lower my cell phone plan?
