well with a new month starting tomorrow i think i need a new budget. how much do you girls (& FH if you live together) set aside for food each month? for house things? how often do you eat out?
i'll take any help i can get! thanks ladies
We've been eating out a lot in the month of March but we recently went food shopping and spent a lot of food because we need to really start saving money and eating healthier. We usually go to the supermarket every two weeks and drop about $100-120. We also do our regular Target stops like every week or every two weeks and that's usually about $100 too. We are trying to cut down with our Target obsession though. I was thinking about joining BJs or Costco so we maybe could go once a month or something...

It's not that bad. I only clip for things that I will buy. Ask me if I ever remember to bring them with me to the store!![]()
Eating healthy is so expen$ive! I've been recently clipping coupons and using my Stop & Shop card. Making lunches is saving us a bundle. Also invested in a water purifer....no more bottled waters at $1.00 a piece, and it's good to the earth! $29 at target, and the filter has lasted us 6 months so far and we use it everyday!

I spen about 100 or more a week on groceries!![]()
I set aside money for food every month, and go food shopping at the begininng of the month...i dont set aside $$ for household things, i just buy them as i need it (but i like to get to Costco when I can to get the big things like paper towels, toliet paper etc. lasts a lot longer)....other then that all the other money i put away from every paycheck goes towards bills like cable, car insurcance, the wedding etc.
