Shopping

We're in the middle of working on budget and finances with our Foundation Group. So yesterday Chad was balancing the checkbook. He gives me an amount that I need to stick to in the week's grocery shopping. Not an absurd amount. . . but $20-25 less than what I usually spend. Turned out this was a good week to do it, we had a good supply of meat from Costco, some cheese and our cereal could survive another week. So I looked at things that could be postponed and things that were not necessary on the list. As Cole and I shopped I roughly tallied the amount in my head. I was worried I wouldn't succeed when I had already spent $30 just leaving the produce section. At the checkout I separated the "for sures" and the "if we cans". I was able to get all but 3 things I had grabbed. So silly, but I felt incredibly accomplished. Felt like I'd achieved a little success for the team.
