I have officially been "over budget" for a few weeks now. I am finding it hard to stick with $200 a month for food.I'm not sure if it is because of the impulse purchases, the overload of great deals so far this summer(NOT complaining!), the bounty of delicious ripe fruits and veggies on sale, or what.
Instead of beating myself up over this I have decided to increase our budget to $300/month for now. I have a lot on my mind and to do list at this point and worrying about keeping the grocery spending so low is a waste of what little energy I have. About half of what I have been buying is stockpile items, the other half is to be used on a weekly-monthly basis.The stockpile items will make it easier once I do decide to take the budget back down to $200.
Stumble It!

$300 is still a pretty good goal and if it makes life less stressful, then all the better! good luck!
