Another month has past. Good-bye February and hello March!
Jason and I are doing well on our monthly resolutions, so far. Completed January. February was giving away 30 items each. We did that VERY easily. It was also no sweets. Jason completed, I cheated 3 times. Not bad on my part, but it was also a short month. Oops.
March is meal planning dinners for the entire month and sticking to the menu and only spending half of our monthly budget. We have a calendar with all of our meals and we are doing well. Three days in. Go, us! Only using half our budget is going to be TOUGH! My mom and brother are coming to visit in about a week so the eating out budget will probably be the hardest. The grocery bill will also be difficult since we are feeding 4 instead of 2. I am looking for coupons to cut costs on the meals I plan to make while they are visiting, as well as, the meals we have plans for the rest of the month. Planning a monthly meal calendar and looking for specific coupons will help a lot.
We shall see how this month goes. If anyone has any good coupon sites they use, let me know!
Hey, Jennifer. Stopping over from QCMoms. I love monthly goals. We just starts meal planning this year after a monthly goal. It had truly helped me so much to stay on track and keep from eating out because I have "nothing to cook." Hope your month is going well.
ReplyDeleteI love meal planning! We usually do it weekly, but doing it biweekly or monthly is definitely going to be the new norm! Helps with the grocery bill too. :)
