2012 is so close & i am stoked. on May 30th i tried out couponing by scoring free Popsicles. i've learned a lot from then until now & i'm confident that i can make better & smarter grocery trips. so beginning Monday, January 1st, i will try my best to bring down our grocery spending budget. i'm not sure about what amount is good right now, but i plan to start at a number & try to stay within that budget for at least 2 months to see if it's a "realistic" number. if not, then i will adjust as needed.
right now the number in my head is $200 per month.
i need to set guidelines with this number though. like...do paper towels & toilet paper count in this amount? what about shampoo, body wash, etc?
also i'd like to try & track my receipts & spending like i did at the beginning of the year.
