I'm averaging right at $60 a week for groceries for January which is on track for what I want to spend. Reining in my grocery spending will give me leeway in other places in my budget. But "no spend" January did not go exactly as planned. Life goes on, and so does spending apparently!
Here's what I bought, other than food and utilities:
Birthday $$ to Firstborn along with some thermals and beef jerky
2 scrub tops
2 printer cartridges
hair elastics
hearing aid supplies (but these were reimbursed by my HSA)
facial hair removal tool
2 Ring batteries
some supplies for painting, incl. paint
2 saw blades and a scraper tool
2 new shower heads and a toilet valve
floor mop covers
3 spools of thread
new kitchen faucet
a T wrench (water meter valve key)
Plumbing/fence/car repairs, fridge diagnostics, and a haircut
thrifted books and two tops
spray fungicide for the front door bricks
I also took myself to a get a beer one day, and had a meal out once a week, as per the plan. I'm making mindful purchases so I give myself a pat on the back for January, overall.
