My grocery budget week goes from a Friday to Thursday as that is when we get paid. So this month’s groceries were determined from Friday 10/23 through Thursday 11/20. Next month are from 11/21 – 12/17.
I am just amazed! Congratulations. I have been following your site since the beginning. You have been such an inspiration to me…my food bill has also gone down each month.
Thanks for the motivation. You've done an outstanding job.
