i have a problem. yes, i’ll admit it. if you know me irl, i’m sure you’ve heard me talk about it as it plagues me frequently. the problem is this: i occasionally panic because i think my kids aren’t doing enough activities. (what? you don’t have conversations with yourself in your head?). it goes something like this: play forever! i want them to be good at something, to have a skill. what kind of parent am i if i haven’t helped them develop a sport better? should he be going more? now what do i do? more climbing, swimming, tennis? which one to pick? they’re all so expensive. and a year ago, i made a decision to try again: i’d been working to decrease our grocery bill for 10 years. i’d never been consistently successful at it, and as our family grew and our boys ate more, the grocery bill steadily ticked upward. in 2017, we spent almost $1000 per month on groceries alone. so i set a modest goal for 2018–to shave about 20% off our grocery bill each and every month. i set a might not sound like much, but we saved over $200 per month, or $2400 in a year, by following these tips. @lauriethreeyear #grocerybudget months, we had an average monthly spend of $746.55 and a total yearly spend of $8958.60! we did it!!! $400. or $350. but we did hit and surpas* our goal, keeping grocery spending to under $750 on average for the entire year. i am proud. i am pleased. i have $1600 in the bank that i wouldn’t have had if i’d spent it on groceries, many of which we might have thrown away. i would have had $2400 if i’d saved $200 for each and every month of the year like i planned, but for four months in there, the months when we were getting our house ready to sell, i didn’t save the $200. so what lessons can i extrapolate from this year-long experiment so that i can continue to spend less on our groceries? little threeyear and i spent a little time counting our blessings yesterday as we talked about his new year’s resolution, to work on
