Week 8 summary

$123.70 this week on groceries – leading me to bump up the monthly budget to $500 (this should also help normalize things in 5-week months like August). That’s still about half what I was spending a couple months ago, and I’ve found other ways to decrease spending without making a noticeable dent in lifestyle, so monthly savings can still hit goal pretty easily. Some household staples are out of stock via Amazon, so I’ve been doing some bulk shopping as I find them on sale – about $70 worth so far this month, so it might get its own category.
