I'm sure your cost of living is much higher than ours too. We are very fortunate in Idaho to have lower grocery and electric costs.

After I put my groceries away I sit down and update my spreadsheet so it's done before I have a chance to lose the receipt. :) How many are in your family?<br />Thrifty Mom In Boisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503584246610396717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-14089415720908976182013-12-27T12:34:55.354-07:002013-12-27T12:34:55.354-07:00I do have a budget, but am not so great with it. l...I do have a budget, but am not so great with it. lol! Its expensive feeding a familly of 6 in Canada, especially with all my food allergies. My goal is $180/week and it's tight when I need to order organic meat, buy specialty health food products, etc.. it can be a challenge. ~Carla~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341057469246030024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-20757691005045587112013-12-27T08:30:11.704-07:002013-12-27T08:30:11.704-07:00I would love to only spend $125.00 per month on gr...I would love to only spend $125.00 per month on groceries. Right now we spend $100.00 per week. I have tried to go lower and it seems it wasn't enough but that does also include things like laundry detergent and TP. I would love to get it down to around $50.00 per week. I love your blog and your budget updates! Do you take the whole 125.00 out at the start of the month or do you just use a debit card and keep a tally? I think that's the hardest part for me.Jenn in Indiananoreply@blogger.com
