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.

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 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?
