Budget

Ok I am going to try to stick to a $75 a week budget. I am already saving way more than half of what we use to spend on groceries so for now no biggy if I go over. I have never been one to have a budget and stick to it. I'm still trying to figure out what is a good price for meat and stuff per pound. So eventually I'll lock my budget down. I will always buy fruits and veggies. I am going to try to only buy what's on sale and have coupons for. It just takes a lot of planning ahead, I'm noticing and a lot of freezing. I also have been using menus lately and we hardly ever go out to eat now. I have my game plan down and that's what we eat. No more 3 o'clock coming round and the kids ask whats for dinner and I begin to look at take out menus as I don't know what to cook. The key for us so far is planning ahead. I have in the past grabbed something at the grocery store and payed double what I would pay at Target because we were out and needed it. That won't happen now.
