Default Re: Grocery Budgeting Question

I just happen to spend 150 a month, and every time when payday rolls around, I usually have some meat or a box or two of pasta, soup, rice, tuna, tomatos, etc leftover.....
I don't do it by catagory, but living alone, a nice 8-10 roast can last me for about 4/5 days worth of meals, although I'm sick of it by then.....

Default Re: Grocery Budgeting Question

I don't budget a certain amount for individual grocery things. I have an established stockpile and I restock it through sales. I rarely buy anything that isn't on sale. If I do, it is an item that will go bad soon or we have a hankering for it and I buy it as a treat.
