Budgets. Most of us gotta have ‘em, but sticking to them can be frustrating.
I have a moderate grocery budget; I plan two weeks of meals at a time, including snacks and drinks for four people...and four cats...and nine chickens (their food is part of our food budget). Once I have the meals sorted out, I make my list- and write out for each item the estimated cost, before adding it all up and often having to start over.
The coffee we buy recently went up two dollars, and it threw my whole system out of whack.
Anyway! I was wondering, how do you all stick to your budgets? What are some creative ways you save money?
