I have made a goal to spend $450 on groceries for my famiy of four for the first 6 months of the year. Our freezer and pantry were bursting and I felt like a reduced budget would force me to be more creative and use what I have. I wondered if going all cash would help me stick to that budget better. I've been coming in around $475 every month, but I also buy organic meat and drink organic milk. Have you ever looked into buying a side of beef?Qwendykayhttp://www.qwendykay.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259011.post-64107840879913613202012-04-02T07:21:37.000-07:002012-04-02T07:21:37.000-07:00You know, I have considered it but I don't hav...You know, I <i>have</i> considered it but I don't have a ton of freezer space and living pretty much in the middle of Los Angeles, I'm not sure it's even an option that's available.

Maybe the $600 will be an average when you look back over the year?Ginahttp://www.moneywisemoms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259011.post-81236189559720172252012-04-03T14:18:23.000-07:002012-04-03T14:18:23.000-07:00Thanks, Gina!

I'm trying to cook more too, and to get the kids eating more fruit and maybe even a veggie here and there, so we'll see!Chief Family Officernoreply@blogger.com
