Thread: November Grocery Budget

Well I bought more...I dont have the exact total in front of me. I bought all I could on the 2 rainchecks I had and I also bought 4 pkgs of batteries. I spent $35 at 2 different stores. So $70 total -$12.++ I had left. I went over budget by about $58.00, then bought a gal of milk for $3.36.......so I will say I went over by $62.00 My November total spent was right at $462.00. I wont need anything before Friday I dont think. I will be watching...

Forgot to add: I also earned $21 in ECBs, $6 in RRs, and two OYNO - $3 for Super Fresh and $2 for Genuardi's. That's $32 OOP LESS next time I go! LOL

No shopping for me this week... will just be living off the stockpile... so I'll close out the month at $360, which is twice what I budgeted. But dinner tonight cost about $2, or .50 per person.

I *really* want to make my $600 budget work (that includes stockpiling), so for December I'm going to work at coming in under budget. I'm stockpiled on so many necessities that it just might work. Tuesday is my shopping day so I'm...

Totally doable, since we aren't doing Thanksgiving meal here, I don't need to buy anything for the meal. Which means, my extra $100 that I reduced the budget by this month will go into the VACATION fund!! Yipee! Of the $113, I spent $79 last weekend. All I need Saturday is milk and coffeemate. Which means, drumroll please..... I will...

Well Debra, at least the spices will last for awhile! And, you're right, since you did so well on your budget, you have a little wiggle room.

I was going to do really good and keep good track this month, but I moved some of my grocery money to my Christmas gifts and got it all jumbled up and lost track!
