Great idea Aimee! I am such a nerd when it comes to my budget. I would sit down with the receipt and calculator when I got home to figure out what was spent for household/personal vs groceries (including tax!) and shuffle the money around. It never occurred to me to order online then pickup for household stuff and I have been a homemaker for 15 years. Not only would that save time, it would prevent me from overspending in that category. I enjoy grocery shopping so I would will keep doing that in person. I just can't let anyone else pick out my produce. LOL. Thanks for the idea!
I like the pick up idea. The only thing is that I don’t like to shop at target. But….watching this it came to my mind I could just separate at checkout my grocery items from the rest and maybe that will give me an idea of how much I spend on those too. And maybe go from there to deciding what should be the budget???
Great idea now the hats part is how do I know how much to pull aside for non grocery. Seems like I tried this before and was still always going over in one category or another
The main focus is paying close attention to what you’re spending and being aware of it. Set parameters for yourself. That’s basically what the budget does.
I like your method. However we buy a years worth of dishwasher soap, hand soap, clothes soap, deoderant ,TP etc at a time. I guess we could do a yearly budget--that makes sense.
