I challenged myself in January to keep track of what I spent on groceries and at drugstores. My allotted budget was $50 a week for groceries, not including diapers or drugstore items(toiletries, makeup, etc). Well, I did pretty well for the first 3 months staying for the most part on budget. And then life got crazy busy and I stopped entering the numbers into my spreadsheets. So, for the last 3 months, I have only budgeted in my head. I am pretty sure I stayed on track. But I like to
see the numbers. So, I have a new challenge for myself starting in July. I will start tracking what I save and what I spend again. My budget will still be $50 a week. But it will now include diapers and drugstore items. Over the last few months, I have really learned how to take advantage of all the free items at CVS and Walgreens! I am confident that with God's help, I can do this.
If anyone does not have the excel spreadsheet grocery tracker and would like me to email it to you, let me know.
~All thanks to God~
