Instead of setting a specific dollar amount weekly or monthly I do better just trying to beat last month's total. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I keep 2 different categories 1. food only, 2. HBA, pet food, cleaners, paper products, etc. The food only category has been consistant the last couple months but I bought a lot of non food in Nov., needed pet meds which I add in there. Nov. totals, food only $424.85, non food $255.15 for a total of $680.00, Oct. was only $537.00 so I certainly didn't do better this time. New month now, time to try again. I also LOVE to eat out, one of my downfalls. I keep a separate category for that.
