December Food News

Well as I stated before I'm keeping track of our food money to get a hold of why money run through here like bad diarrhea. (maybe I should have used another word *chuckle*). Okay so thus far for the month of December we've only spent $990.19. *clappin* I'm happy because that's waaaaay better than how we were doing about this time last month. And if I'm really honest, we spent well over the $1400 I added because by then I didn't add in the thanksgiving order and I still never found a missing receipt. I think what really and truly does help is planing out the meals. I know it sounds totally boring but it really helps. It does take a lil bit of time to actually sit down and research what you THINK you may want to eat during the week. But money is saved in the long run. And for us we don't waste as much food because we are buying what I intend to cook and not just whim shopping. Or picking up something because it looks good, then it sits in the frig for weeks on end. *shakin head*

So hopefully we won't have to pick up anything major from the market. Only small things, like milk or fruit and veggies. I did notice that when we shop weekly or every so many days - less money is spent. It's not like having a huge azz grocery list for the month (like we usually did) and spending a bunch of money. Then on top of that to keep going back to the grocery store the next week, and the next week and so on. Cuz you can't spend $500 and then turn around not even a whole week later and spend $250. That don't make sense. And that means we were doing something wrong. (yeah like my azz not cooking HA!) *chuckle to self*

Anyway, I'm up talking to myself like a dayum crackhead. Know my azz need to be in bed, plus my dayum neck hurt. *sigh* I'm done.
