gaggleofseven:
I'll have to think about my October budget. Rather than focusing on a number, I'm trying to concentrate on saving money in the kitchen. I'm going to be using my slow cooker a lot, and have been looking for some new recipes to try in addition to the ones I always make--chili; vegetable soup; sloppy joes; spaghetti sauce; chicken & vegetables; etc. Once I have a clearer plan for where I can be more efficient in saving money and time, I'll come back and post my October budget.

Blessings,
Jennie

Sandlappersue:
I am going for $360 in October. I am thinking of splitting it to $80 a week and see what happens.

Cheryl:
I'm in for $200, food only.  Pet food, chicken feed, etc. will come out of separate budget.

Sandlappersue:
360/4=90, doesn't it? Duh! So, that's $90 per week.
