How's it Going

Well I have come to several conclusions as I continue to come in over budget.

  • I need to stockpile more when the price is rock bottom.
  • Do this I will have to overspend some weeks and know that I will make up fo rit on the slow weeks.
  • I need to be buy lots of junk to keep the husband out of the store!
  • I need to get more coupons.
  • I need to do a better job getting all the deals and making a second trip if neccessary.

I think it can still be done and intend to average $50 a week as the sales calm down. I also plan to eliminate the husbands snack budget by the end of the year.

  2. husband's comment
    I load the cart with my eyes and taste
    You shop with nutrition and budget in mind
    We simply balance each other
    we'll discuss the snack budget..
