I usually don't believe in "resolutions" at the new year because lets face it...no one really sticks to them. But this year I really want to be budget minded, especially when it comes to grocery shopping, so that is my resolution.
Having said all that, let me mention that we went to Costco today and managed to spend ~$350.00!!! It's only the 9th day of the year and already I have blown my budget on grocery spending for this month. So now I have decided that Costco purchases should be their own category in Microsoft Money (yes, we track all income/expenses via this program so at the end of the year we can be shell-shocked with how we spend our money-plus I have to be able to track "hunting" purchases...).
Kevin says that Costco "enables" me to be a food hoarder. I don't see it as hoarding, just getting good deals and being prepared...thanks to my Gram for this quirky little habit.
