February Grocery Summary


Here is my Grocery Store Summary for the month of February.  I purchased $856.93 worth of groceries and household goods for $215.50.  I exceeded my monthly goal of $200 by $15.50 which is an improvement over the previous month where I overspent closer to $20.  My savings rate was higher this month at 74.85% which I am excited about!  I also entertained at my home which probably contributed to me going over budget, but I did use some self-control and not grocery shop the last week, to make sure I didn't continue to over spend.  I do hope to keep stockpiling so that later in the year I can make up for some other overspending by going a week or two without shopping.  I also received a $10 rebate which went directly into my savings account. I have tons more to fill out hopefully I can get to them this weekend!  How did you do with your savings and spending last month?
