Food Bill News

So over on my other blog I started this thing called "Food Bill News" because I wanted track exactly how much money my family spent on food. I called myself having a certain amount of money alloted for food but for some reason always found that we went over that amount. So that lead me to believe that the amount I'd projected that we spent was off. Well, not only was if off but it was WAY off.

I only alloted $500.00 per month for food, sometimes I'd do $600.00. But after I started saving ALL our grocery receipts I was amazed at how much money we spent on food. This is not take out food or food we bought dinning out. This is just grocery store food.

December 2007 was the first month I did "Food Bill News." And November 2008 will mark the one year that I've been tracking our food expenses. Thus far from December 2007 to November 2008 we've spent $22,022.98 on food. *chuckle* Who knew that we ate so much. But I suppose that since we're a family of six, that's to be expected. Not to mention, we only shop at natural grocery stores or stores that carry organic foods.

Anyway, I'll post what the actual total is at the end of November because I haven't totaled out Novembers month yet. I'll not add the Thanksgiving Holiday food because that's being ordered out and is not typical of a normal food month.
