Re: Money spent on food....$50/Month goal
I am single and my budget is $50 per week. Now some weeks the paycheck is smaller and I only have 10-25 so I tend to stock pile a lot of things...closeout meats, pantry goods and the like. I don't make my own bread (I do bulk bake buscuite once a month and freeze for suppers)and I drink a lot of milk. When I have weeks that I don't spend all the grocery money it goes into my emergancy cash fund. Then if something goes wrong I have money on hand to cover it. In the last month and a half I have saved over $100 in that fund. Once that fund hits $500 it will be put in the bank for my EF (which I don't have now) and I will start over again.
Also to note...I right now have about 2-3 months of food stockpiled for if something happens.
