Grocery shopping for me is so hard right now, as I’m sure it is for so many others because of….. you guessed it… inflation. 👎
I’ve set myself a budget of $150 a week for my family of 4 and so far, I haven’t been able to hit it. I think I could have this week if I hadn’t needed pull ups and kitty litter, which I include in the grocery budget.
My last grocery trip was at Kroger and Aldi and I spent around $280, which looking back now feels absurd.
However, not hitting my budget has taught me a lot about how to grocery shop in general. I can’t just grab things off of the shelf and not consider my ending amount. I need to go through my fridge, freezer and cupboards before I go shopping, write out a list of meals I can make that need absolutely nothing extra and build off of that.
I’m learning!
