We’re kicking off the yr with an 8-week Lower Your Grocery Invoice Problem. I’ll be sharing a weekly submit right here each Thursday with a process or problem so that you can full/give attention to that can assist you tweak, enhance, or overhaul your grocery price range.
My hope is that we are able to all work collectively to crowd-source new concepts and recent inspiration to be extra considerate and intentional in our grocery budgets + hopefully avoid wasting cash and instill some practices and ideas and habits that may proceed to avoid wasting us cash all through the remainder of the yr.
In week #1, we talked about establishing a grocery price range. That’s crucial first step in reducing your grocery invoice.
In week #2, we mentioned why you could acknowledge potential roadblocks. You should definitely learn via the feedback right here to listen to about others’ roadblocks. I feel it would encourage you to know you’re not alone.
Final week, I challenged you to commit to vary one factor for 3 weeks. You’ll be able to see the feedback on the submit for concepts of what others picked.
Week #4: Verify In on Your Progress
It’s been 4 weeks since we started this problem and it’s time to examine in and see how we’re doing. How are you doing sticking together with your price range? What are you fighting essentially the most? Are there issues that you’re discovering particularly tough? Has something stunned you?
Additionally, have you ever saved cash? If that’s the case, how a lot?
It’s necessary to repeatedly examine in in your progress. Generally, we are able to suppose we’re making progress, but when we don’t truly cease to measure and quantify it, we gained’t know! As well as, take time to re-assess what’s working and what’s not working and rejoice the wins you’ve had and make changes or tweaks in areas the place you’re struggling.
I went to my regular Kroger this week. There weren’t any loopy, superb offers, however I did discover some offers and markdowns.
All totaled: $95 and a few change for all of this.
I’m going to purchase eggs from some buddies who’ve chickens after which we’ll roll over what’s left within the price range from being under-budget the previous two weeks. (About $23 whole.)
I’m loosely planning we’ll have Rooster Broccoli Rice Casserole, Sloppy Joes, Barbecued Rooster & Twice Baked Potatoes, Sausage/Potatoes/Carrots within the Crockpot, Bean & Cheese Burritos, after which we’ll have leftovers/fend for your self evening one evening and takeout for Kathrynne’s 18th birthday!
