August's Food Bill

For the entire month of August I spent $400.66 on grocery and saved $163.01.  I only saved 29% but I am really focused on what I spent!

Last August I spent $550
Last Month I spent $442.70
My budget this month was $450 but my goal was $425 (baby steps is my game)
Next month's budget is $425 and goal is $400

It's really working, all the hard work, some good coupon sites, and support from my friend Brittany, I am really saving money!

and you may not of saved as much as you would of liked but hey..you still saved!!
i cook about 4 nights out of the week with pizza night every friday..and i spend anywhere from $40-60 a week on groceries with $12 for a pizza every friday..thats $288..but then again i do spend $20-30 a week at Target for other things (usually just cheaper things lol)..so i guess i come in around $400 also..
i dont really keep a very strict budget like it..my goal is just to spend as little as i can..hehe..
goodluck for the month of Sept!! ill keep my eyes open for deals and let you know about them like i usually do..lol =)
