A New Look at Our Spending

by 1 Comment

We have been free of credit card debt since Jan 2010. I think that is correct my memory is not clear. You would think that this date would be one I would never forget. bleh

I took a new look at our spending plan and it is needing to be tweaked mainly in the food department. So here are a few resources I have found to be helpful to me in changing our spending plan around.

USDA Food Plans

USDA Cost of Food

 

I am trying my hand out at coupons to help lower our food budget and stretch our dollar.  I got a nice taste of spending 52.oo approx on groceries and it went down to 3.08 final cost.  That was quite a rush to see it go down like that, and this has inspired me to continue working on doing this and learning more about how to save this way.

 

I am now working on this weeks shopping list for our family.

 

To be continued………..
