Onward to April's Food Spending report......
Here are my FOOD BUDGET spending totals for APRIL 2022.
I have posted April's totals on the Total Grocery Savings Page located HERE and have updated the Totals there.
I am listing subtotals for each store I purchased from in April. If you aren't interested in that much detail, just skip to the bottom for the Totals Sum. My spending includes Food, Toiletries/HBA, Cleaning Products, Paper Goods, Pet Food & tax where applicable. We are a family of 3(2-3 eating at home this month). No "kids" under 26.

THOUGHTS & COMMENTS for this month.....Not too bad on the spending front. We ate well without spending a fortune and added to the toiletries stockpile in preparation for my sale.

The monthly food spending savings percentage went UP by 1.12% in April 2021 to 77.25% compared to the March's 76.13% savings average. A higher savings rate is always good. 8-)
With 4 months accounted for, I have spent a Grand Total of $1,175.05 on food/toiletries in 2022.
2021 Yearly Grand Total Spent....................$1,175.05
2021 Yearly Grand Total Value of Items.....$6,198.96
The average per month amount spent is $293.76 in 2022.
2021 Grand Total Saved...............................$5,023.91
2021 Yearly Savings Total..............................81.04%
The average per month amount spent is $293.76 in 2022.
LOOKING AHEAD To May 2022.......With the inflationary costs now I'll still try to keep the spending at or under $350.00. Eating more from what is here and less Ibotta shopping I am hoping. ;-)
If you have other ideas or guidelines you follow please leave a comment and share yours with us all.
* How much did you spend on food/toiletries in April?
* Do you track your yearly food spending? It's really not that hard or time consuming; just have your receipts and either track it in a notebook or on a spreadsheet.
* What was your savings percentage buying on sale and/or with coupons vs. buying at regular retail price last month, if you track that sort of thing?
* What are your methods for keeping your food spending in check?
Is anyone out there up for tracking expenditures and trying to spend less but still eat well?

I really wish I/we were doing all these things for it sounds quite sensible to do so.
ReplyDeleteI spent over budget last month, my last big stock up before my income goes down so filled the pantry with lots of staples. From now I need to stick to a stricter food budget.
