The last week of August! All in all, I feel good about where we ended this month in our budget. Last week's grocery trip - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EFRcNQViy8 Breakdown of my monthly grocery trips: Big Monthly Trip $472 Week #1 Fill-Ins $250 Week #2 Fill-Ins $107 Week #3 Fill-Ins $265 Last Week Fill-Ins $180 Total for the month of August $1,274. This total includes groceries and home goods. We typically budget $1,200 for food and then $200 for home goods (cleaning supplies, cosmetics, bath items). That means I am under budget!
