Last night I got swept up into a blog (this one to be exact: http://www.onehundreddollarsamonth.com/) for hours!
It made me realize some ways I can reign in our spending, use up what's in the pantry, and put money back for other things.
So here is my pledge: for the remainder of 2013, I will spend no more than $40 per week on groceries. Hopefully the savings will go to a deep freezer. =D And, of course, the new place we aim to buy in the spring (and garden and chicken startup money).
I have a LOT of food in the pantry that I really just forget is there. Same with the fridge and freezer. Really need to get back into cooking.
I do receive WIC for my wild child, so that will not count in to my weekly budget because yay free food! I am also making a pledge to eat out (be it fast food or restaurant) no more the 1 time per week for now...that goal will change to 1-2 times per month soon. The $40 is strictly for groceries, so household purchases won't be included.
Yay! I guess this means I have to go pack a lunch for work now. Lol.

PS-No poo is still going strong! And I have started it on my 3 year old with excellent results!
