Hubby has always said I never do anything halfway. When I get 'into' something I jump in with both feet. The month of February was a blur of Couponing & Rebating for me. I am still wading through the mounds of grocery/drug store receipts but I know I waaaaay overspent stocking up on foods for the family at very good prices, in addition to my normal monthly grocery spending.
I am putting myself on a $150 grocery budget for what's left of the MONTH of March. Yes, I hit CVS AND Walgreen's on Sunday already this week, so I should have that out of my system for a few weeks now and can devote March to not spending & eating down on our stash of food.
I figure, with all the preserved, frozen, canned, boxed food I have stockpiled, we should only have to buy milk, some bread and maybe some fresh fruit & veggies sporadically to get through March. And we shouldn't need to buy any paper goods, cleaners or HBAs either this month. I am betting on $150 to cover the little we may need. Unless hubby runs through all his coffee, then all bets are off!lol
After I sit down and finish calculating the last 4 month's grocery totals in the morning, I can decide on a realistic monthly food budget for the rest of the year and post it.
Then I need to do a Menu Plan for the week, which I didn't get done on Sunday.
Sunday was one big mental block for me. Ugh
