When you are grocery shopping on a budget, navigating the grocery world can become redundant and boring. Mindlessly walking through the aisles, buying the same boring food that you did last time.
That’s why I personally LOVE seeing what other families put on their meal plans and what products they choose when they shop at places like Costco.
This month our goals in grocery shopping on a budget were to try our best to stay away from foods that were overly processed and stick with products that contained more natural ingredients. All while sticking to our monthly grocery shopping budget of $300.
Figuring out a family budget can be super challenging, especially if you are just getting started.
The hardest part for our family when we were just getting started was learning that we need to continually be adjusting our budget to make it fit with our changing life.
This month our family budget is the perfect example of that. We made a few temporary changes based off of what we currently value the most.

Stop thinking about what’s for dinner! Just stop it! Would you be okay with that?
That’s exactly what this monthly meal plan is going to help you do! Well, you will have to think about once, but only once for the entire month!Continue Reading →
What do you think about once a week, we get together, eat something super tasty, pretend like we don’t care how many calories we are devouring, and all the while we have some heavy (in a fun way!) girl talk going on!?
The chitchat will all be centered on a few chapters taken from the current book that we are obsessing over.
Doesn’t that sound super fun! I’m a lot excited about it! What a great way for us to better get to know each other?
Our first book is THE PERFECT read for someone who needs a heavy dose of shopaholic’s anonymous! It’s for someone whose desire to spend is borderline addiction.
There once was a day, a day before I really knew what a budget actually was, where I felt ready to slam-dunk my budget in the trashcan at the end of the month! I was SO over it! Sticking to a budget had become exhausting and I felt like I was living a very limited life. Have you ever felt like that?
Do you want to know the secret to avoiding budget burnout? When I say that I don’t get burnt out anymore, I am not lying! I want to share with you my secret so you can say the same thing!
The secret to avoiding budget burnout isn’t complicated and it’s actually going to make you very happy! The secret is to budget to have fun!
There are so many things that need to be done before we are ready. Two of the main items of business are 1. Paying off our debt and 2. Saving for a down payment.
In order to accomplish those goals we are going to need and be super creative on ways to live frugal and fabulous! My hope is that by sharing our family savings plan successes and failures, you can learn from our experience, which will make the process a lot more smooth and easier for you!
“No” is just a part of life. It’s not the fun part and can be a hard lesson for our little (or big) kiddos to learn. As a parent, it can be hard to be the one teaching this lesson.
But we want the best for our kids and our family, sometimes that can mean we have to say no. I’m not sure anyone likes to tell their kids no. It’s definitely not my favorite.
But here’s the thing. If we want to be teaching kids about money then we need to teach them about self-control, especially when it comes to your budget.
How is your summer going? Notice that I am not saying that it is over? I deny deny deny that summer is over until the temps dip below 70. (Which here, that could be well into October) I just don’t want it to end!
Anyways. Just a recap of a few of my favorite post memories that I stumbled upon this week. Do you remember any of these…
This pineapple bowl is not only beautiful but one of the tastiest meals I have ever made! In fact, I think this might be what I make next time we have guests over! Who wants to come over!?
And while the weather is still beautiful maybe we should make it a goal to get outside every weekend! What do you think? This article is perfect to have fun without spending money!
