So January is but a distant memory (ok so maybe it was just last week), and I can provide a run down of my final week of the month food expenses:
Groceries $230.61
Convenience $17.45
Looks like I spent quite a bit more on groceries that week, I'm not entirely sure why but its still a reasonable amount in my opinion, considering there are two of us and my convenience food costs were low. Grocery shopping usually includes other expenses such as pharmacy and household items and even children's clothes! I summarize my expenses from looking at my bank account expense lines, and whenever I see a grocery store it gets added to this figure.
I do know that the first week of February will likely show some higher costs in the food category, as I splurged a bit!
So let me summarize the month! For the past 4 weeks I spent:
Groceries $686.44
Convenience food $101.25
I made a big effort to bring my lunch, and not eat out other than a few quick snacks and coffee.
I'm not sure what I think of this, I would say its probably a good result. I haven't skimped a lot, but I didn't splurge either. The biggest factor is the price of grabbing a quick lunch, as shown by the week I spent over $40 on convenience food.
What do you think? Does this seem reasonable?
