Not where I wanted, but getting serious for February and rest of year with an aggressive $300 food, $50 household target average. I'm setting aside $10 per week for December splurged so not caught of guard, and so overage that month goes there. Hoping to eat well, spend less through meal planning and smarter shopping.Pop, junk food like chips, and ready made (not helpful convenience items) will be sacrificed for more water, seed popped popcorn, and home baking where I control ingredients.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-20548777179165079422017-01-29T13:03:51.270-05:002017-01-29T13:03:51.270-05:00We are digging our way out of debt, so yes, we are...We are digging our way out of debt, so yes, we are watching every penny!
