    This has been an embarrassing month, I doubled my budget!  Ugh.  About 400.00.  I plan on picking up a few things from loss leaders this weekend so even more money out.  Maybe its because I don't eat out at all and ALL our foods are from home.  Gonna revisit my 60.00 a week and try to stick to it, that would be 240 average a month and I htink that is more in line instead of 200 a month, that is not happening much! 

     I am gonna take it one week at a time instead of one month!

    Fail fail fail!!!  Ugh.

    dmc, if you eat the food then the budget is correct for you.   You have to fiqure out what you are saving eating in and now many extra people you are feeding too.

    spent under $10 on candied ginger (helps dh stomach), and veggies for the work potluck.   I am sure I blew my budget too!  stopped counting.

    LOL. You aren't alone with spending more, but I've been adding to my pantry and freezer to stockpile. Wish I had a big pond for fishing.
