Follow me as I work towards a $450 per month grocery~dining out~toiletry~diapering budget for my family of 5. When we started working towards this we were spending upwards of $900 PER MONTH on all of this...we've come a long way and are working to get closer to that $450 each month. I share this information to keep myself accountable more than anything. It's like a game each month to make sure we stay below our goal.
November Household Spending - $460.05 (just a tad bit over this month)
November Household Savings - $566.12 (this is CRAZY to me...I never thought we could save this much money!!! And to be saving MORE than we spent is great as well!)
November Rebates & Survey Money Received - $37.49 ($35.50 in surveys and $1.99 rebate)
November Rebates Submitted, not received - $82.97 (I have a couple of big rebates I submitted this month and then a few surveys completed, now I can just sit back and wait for the checks to come in...love it!)
So, there you have it. Our spending and savings for the month. Check with me next month to see how we do. If you have some great savings you'd like to share I'd love to hear all about it! Have you shrunk your grocery bill too?
