I have been forgetting to record where our grocery money is going eg: meat, fruit & veges etc. Need to discipline myself more I think. Otherwise I think I have been completely tight with my money this month. I have been shopping and picked up a few things that I have liked, walked around and then put the things down before walking out empty handed (feels really good) and when I get home I dont even miss what I wanted to buy. Its amazing on how much money goes on stuff that you dont even need. I received my tax return last week and I have been really carefully with it, so far we fixed the van $700 and I payed off my Coles Myer card (yipee). I think I will get shoes for the kids as they really need them and then I might no I will put the money into my ING account so its not too easy for me to take out at the drop of a hat.
Goal for this week: Remeber to record where grocery money is going....

Grocery Budget 1
Well I did it, I stayed below my grocery budget last week.
Grocery budget is $200.00 and I spend:
Aldi: $65.50
Coles: $25.33
Woolworths: $3.19 (including the newspaper)
Meat: $18.15 (1kg of diced beef, 1 kg of mince)
Fruit and Veges: $30.00
Total: $142.17
under by: $57.83
(What happened to the $57.83, who knows..... this is why I need this blog, so I can keep track of our spending habits. Our credit card could have looked a little healthier if the $57.83 I saved on groceries was paid into it)
