Well, I thought I’d better start paying closer attention to the running tally on our grocery budget, so here’s the breakdown so far this year:
We are still within our planned budget though, as we allow for $250 per month (roughly $50 per week). We allow for $250 a Month which totals to $3,000 per year. We break it down into $50 per week because this helps keep the amount manageable and allows for purchases for TP, Paper Towels and supplies to make laundry detergent & natural cleaners.
