We were at 250 then I went to the grocery store and spent about 43 dollars- stocked up on the smart taste pasta we liked since they were bogo and got the husband the bagels he wanted also bogo, 3 frozen pizza and breadsticks that were on sale and I had a coupon, toliet papers and a couple of other things added up fast. Then we went out to eat with another couple and spent 40 dollars. So we are now at $333! And we are only a little less then half way through the month, we have a lot of food in the house though, so we just have to stick to eating in. I don't know if will make our 400 dollar budget but going still try. I read today the average family of 4 with 2 school aged kids spends 233 a week at the grocery store, thats 900 dollars a month and thats not even including if they eat out!
I went shopping this weekend, but only to Kohls and didn't spend any money. I took back a christmas gift we never ended up giving someone and got 20 dollars in store credit- I then brought some underwear 4 pairs for about 6 dollars and a 2 pieces wall art set for about 6 dollars (originally 59.99) it was on clearnace for 80 percent off then used an additional 30 percent off coupon. Then I went back the next day and brought anther all art set since it was such a good deal and went with our bedroom colors that needs wall art- it was 8 dollar however, since only had a 15 percent off coupon this time. However, we also brough back a crock pot we got for Christmas (already had one) and got 20 dollars for that so I still have around 20 dollars in store credit to Kohls, so have more money then I started with.
We did however spend 5 dollars at the dollar store on pregnancy tests just to have for when I need them and toenail clippers.
So total
Food: 333 dollars
Shopping this weekend: 5 dollars
