Family Balance Sheet

OCTOBER 2, 2022

I’m always looking for ways to save my family money to help us get through current higher food and gas prices and achieve our big financial goals. There’s a better chance the healthy food will get eaten if it’s prepped, and it saves time on weekday mornings. I like to reuse them for lunches/snacks.

A few years ago, after eating a few too many turkey sandwiches and watching several tummy turning documentaries about the food industry, I became a vegetarian. I actually had to write out a list of foods that are vegetarian. It makes me sad, not only as a vegetarian, but also as a person who loves good food.

My husband and I made some serious financial goals for 2014. To achieve those goals I need to review our spending to see where I can make some cuts. Over the holidays, I wasn’t as diligent with my meal planning and our grocery bill went over what I budget for food. Plan for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks.

My husband and kids won’t tolerate a bare kitchen and bad, boring food–they would seriously revolt. But we have some serious financial goals to hit and the grocery budget is an easy target when it comes to cutting the budget. And not one person complained about the dinners or their breakfasts and lunches.

We ate at home a lot and watched our food budget carefully. We still allotted a lot of money for food, but we were careful not to go too far over budget. Amanda got really upset once, because there wasn’t ten dollars to go out to lunch with a friend. What are your financial goals now?

Little things like coffee, lunches, fast food etc add up and can kill your budget. We tried to avoid these things by packing our lunch, cooking meals at home, and shopping with a list to avoid overspending and wasting money. If married, who initiated the debt free goal? What are your financial goals now?

5 – Brown bag your lunch. There was a time (pre-pandemic) that I ate lunch out almost every day with friends. An easy lunch idea in one word: leftovers! If you have a big financial goal, think about how much you pay someone to do something that you are capable of doing yourself. 6 – Eat dinner at home.
