spend no more than $150 a week on groceries

Was under $120. I forgot how much but I threw away the receipt already :) Of course I was tired so went to Burger King… that was $25. Still under $150 but I have misc stuff I pick up during the week. I need to work on keeping organized so I don’t go out for fast food so much. We’ve been a lot better though. I got a water filter so I am not spending a lot on bottled water any more. I started making all my bread from scratch now. I used to just do the dinner breads, etc but now I make some every day and slice it up for toast, sandwiches, etc. I am also starting to mix milk half with fresh and 1/2 with powdered milk. We will see how that goes. My kids don’t drink a lot of milk. They mostly just use it for cereal so that should save some money too.

I have decided that starting in February I am going to go on a mostly cash system. It has been difficult before because I buy a lot on the internet. I will work out a budget.

I will have $150 a week for groceries and if there is any leftover it will go into the savings jar
