Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 20, 2023

In 2022, I wanted to do a major purge of our home , and that lasted until about January 15 of 2022 when I reorganized our kitchen cabinets. The rest of the snowball went towards other things, such as a new-to-us vehicle, medical expenses, retirement contributions, and home repairs. I spent about $870/month on groceries.

As my kids have grown into teenagers who eat as much as adults, I spend about $800-1000/month–this includes anything I buy at the grocery store, so it includes paper and cleaning products. I’ve found some great deals in the past on many products that are either staples in my home or just plain necessities.

Groceries is one budget category that can get out of control very quickly. However, groceries is also an easy budget category to control, but it takes some planning, skill, and organization. Personally, if I don’t make a shopping list and plan my meals, my grocery budget is toast. Shop at Discount and Outlet Stores.

The weeks that I take the time to plan the menu are the weeks that I have control over our spending. The weeks were I don’t menu plan are the weeks that I’m at the grocery store multiple times or we get take out multiple times, leading to an out of control grocery spending. Will everyone be home for dinner that week?
