31 Days to Slash your Grocery Spending sq

 

Need to find some wiggle room in your budget? Is an unexpected expense threatening your bank account? Or maybe you’re trying to build your emergency savings account, or save for a vehicle?

There is one place to look for extra money that maybe you haven’t considered–your groceries. If you don’t know what you spend each month on groceries, I encourage you to keep a tally for a month to give you an idea. You might be surprised and realize that YES, it would be possible for you to slash your grocery spending and still eat well.

Slashing your spending doesn’t mean you’ll be noshing on ramen noodles either. It is totally possible to eat your favorite foods within a grocery budget.  Keeping a tight grocery budget is giving us some wiggle room each month to put towards other financial obligations.
