Thanks Laura!

I love having the goal of $40 a week for groceries. It seems to me that having a number per week is better to keep track of then by month. That is something I learned during this last year that budgeting per month is difficult because the weeks aren’t exactly the same. I agree about being flexible for the entire month, especially when there are double or triple coupons! Like this week coming back from vacation and getting back into the grove I need to buy some basics so my trip to Bottom Dollar Food will be about $30/$40.

Great goals Holly! And that’s fantastic that you met all of your 2009 goals last year too.
Thanks for sharing your $40 per week grocery budget goal.
I try to keep it around the $40 mark as well (but am flexible from week-to-week…I try to keep it around $160 for the entire month). Many of my non-couponing friends think I am absolutely crazy for setting such a low food budget for a family of 3, but it is do-able, even here in the DC Metro!
Best wishes for all your 2010 goals!
Laura
