With my new routine, I am spending on average about $24 per day to keep my household going, that is food for meals & snacks, shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, and paper products. I would love to get back to the $20 per day that I was doing before I was burned out with shopping, however, I will take baby steps to get there rather than big steps so as not to upset the family too much.
This week was a non-payday week so I did a basic food staples run and spent less than $60 for everything. I hopefully will be able to make it until next Friday(payday) before doing any more shopping.
Here is the breakdown of my purchases this week:
