My grocery total came to $41.05.
In addition to groceries, I bought some non-grocery items, but, they are not included in the above grocery total.
My January grocery budget is $200 for two adults.
Spent to date: $84.61 (Jan. 3) + $50.06 (Jan. 10) + $39.73 (Jan. 19) + $41.05 (Jan. 25 =$215.45
With this purchase, I went over my January grocery budget and dipped into February's budget. But, some of the items I bought will be eaten in February, so, I think it will work out.
Going forward, February's grocery budget will be $200 - $15.45 = $184.55
How did you do with your January grocery spending? If you had a budget, were you able to keep to it? Or, did you, like me, go over budget?
