My budget seems so much higher than a lot of peoples here, but here it is. I aim for $600 a month. Even just a year ago I was at $500 a month, but with prices going up and up I've seen my bill go up and up right along with it. *sigh* I try though!

Ok I am new to this site and I really need to start saving.... our grocery last month was $750!!!! I am aiming for $500 in hopes that it will be lower than that!

Well I am another newbie and I am going to budget $450 for this month. I am not sure if we can do it but going to give it a try. Since joining this group I have learned so much and want to put this knowledge to good use. Thinking I may be more careful in spending when I have to fess up to everyone The more I can save the better!!
