[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Budgets worked for me until recently. I kept track at the end of the month on what I spent on groceries, other food (i.e. restaurants), kid's stuff, pet stuff, etc. It was generally comparable month to month since I started this in 2013. If I splurged on something I could make up for it by being frugal the next month. Now that prices have exploded it's all up in the air. We've stopped eating at restaurants and I don't buy lunch at work anymore but I'm not sure what else I can cut.[/quote] What are you making for dinners? You can plan three dinner that are generally cheaper to make: pasta, bean, eggs. Then, make your usual for the others and see if that helps. If you are already doing that, you may have to increase your bean meals. Or change from canned to dried. [/quote] I'm extremely frugal with dinners, I've been using Budget Bytes for years. We are DCUM poor (120k total)!![/quote]
