Since June I have made a grocery budget and actually stuck with it.
It has been hard some months not to go over, but I just try and make it work with what we have in the cupboards until the next month.
I really actually like tracking how much I spend at the grocery store.
This way I know it’s not getting out of hand with impulse buys :)
