HOW TO BUDGET Your Grocery Bill BIWEEKLY

One of my biggest bills that I have to budget each paycheck is our grocery bill! Food prices keep rising and I’ve started planning in advance on how to prep our meals for two weeks between every pay period.

📋 ALLOW AN AMOUNT DEDICATED TO GROCERIES

In order to find the amount best for you, take an inventory of your income verses outgoing money see what is left and budget from the left over amount. For our family of 4 we budge about $250 every 2 weeks.

📋MEAL PREP AHEAD OF TIME

Before I go to the store I meal prep dinners and lunches for 15 days. I try to make crock pot meals and casseroles that last a few days and are less expensive to make. Then I write down the price of each item and the items needed to make each meal. So I know when going to the store the breakdown of each price I’ll be spending. And I know for sure I won’t be going over budget.

📋 ONCE AT THE STORE- STICK TO THE LIST

Once I get to the store I stick to my list. I try to avoid the isles that have foods and treats that I’ll want to spend extra on and try to get in and out of the store so I’m not adding extra stuff to the cart.
