Food Spending 2022.......the July Report

 Onward to July's Food Spending report......




Here are my FOOD BUDGET spending totals for JULY 2022.

I have posted July'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 July.  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.

This closes out the July food/toiletries spending.

THOUGHTS & COMMENTS for this month.....kept it just barely under $200, which was what I was shooting for. Ate a lot out of the chest freezer.

The monthly food spending savings percentage went DOWN by 3.27% in July 2022 to 82.57% compared to the June's 85.84% savings average.  

With 7 months accounted for, I have spent a Grand Total of $1,581.22 on food/toiletries in 2022.

2021 Yearly Grand Total Spent....................$1,780.82
2021 Yearly Grand Total Value of Items.....$9,436.63
2021 Grand Total Saved...............................$7,655.81
2021 Yearly Savings Total..............................81.13%

The average per month amount spent is $254.40 in 2022.

LOOKING AHEAD To August 2022.......Just trying to get by.  Eating more from the freezer and filling in fesh goods as needed.  No set spending limit but $200 again sounds good. lolz

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 July?

*  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?
