Yay I'm getting a new car! Not so yay car insurance will go up. This means if I want an entertainment budget I need to find it from my food grocery allowance. I feel like cracking my knuckles. Ok it's on! I'm gonna try comparison shopping looking at grocery outlet, trader joes. Costco I'm gonna be looking for staples, tomatoes, beans, stocks. Meat I'm gonna have to really think about and compare prices.
I'm gonna be hitting up Asian and Indian supermarkets too for rice and beans and their specialties such which they buy in bulk. I've suggested to James we take out the budget in cash then I spend that when it's gone it's gone. This way hopefully I can save some money. We are by no means poor but if we want vacations and luxuries we have to budget. We want a day out museum or a meal out we have to account for it somewhere.
I am gonna have to start planning meals two weeks at a time me thinks as that will give me a more accurate costing than a week by week basis.
