Grocery shopping challenge staying on budget for the week ending 1/6/11.
Using cash in the envelope helps me stay on budget. When cash is gone it is time to stopping shopping for groceries or take it from another envelope.
This week I went to Walgreens, Target, Super One and Cub. Cub is always a stop since our bank is there and we can take out cash for the week to go into our envelope system.
