Here is where I will keep a list of our spending for the month of August. We are going to attempt to have a $200 grocery budget. This is for everything for our family of 6 and 1 pet. We did OK last month and went over by $21. Our $200 monthly grocery budget should be doable this month, we still have food left in our freezer and pantry that we need to use before we move. Plus, we didn't have to go grocery shopping for the first week in August as we were traveling. So, let's see how we do this month:
08/12/2013
Chesterfield Berry Farm- $3.06
Dollar Tree- $6.32
Kroger- $13.29
Food Lion- $16.52
Walmart- $29.69
08/19/2013
$1.01- Walgreens
$2.51- CVS and got $4 ECB
$5.19- Dollar Tree
$6.14- Chesterfield Berry Farm
$39.33- Walmart
08/26/2013
$4.21- Dollar Tree
$7.45- Kroger
$9.31- Food Lion
$42.54- Walmart
$186.57- Running Total for August
$13.43- Left in our budget
Yay!! We did it- we spent below our $200 monthly grocery budget. It did help that we only had to budget for 3 of the 4 weeks of August:) I am excited and anxious to see how we do next month with the move:)
