Grocery Spending

June 9th, 2012 at 02:54 am

In yesterday's post I had checked Quicken and our total grocery spending for May had been $1005. Tonight I looked more carefully and there was a Costco transaction categorized as 100% groceries which was only part grocery. After deducting that, the total spent was $897. Our produce box was delivered five times in May also. But even so, we did a lot of food buying in May!

My goal for June will be half that of May. Smile

    It's easy to spend that much! We could easily; I'm always trying to simplify menus and take stuff off our list, and say no to extras (I don't always win on these fronts). I'm sure you'll be able to cut back though, now that you'll be watching it more closely this month.

    I find that when we don't plan our shopping and menu (which is far too easy to do!) it leads us to quickly double our food outlay for a month. The best insurance for us is to take the time to plan it out, eat out less, and enjoy it more. Smile I am sure that you can do it, good luck!
