“I changed my behavior somewhat (though not a ton) to be able to stay in my grocery budget. As I mentioned, budgeting weekly has been a game changer. Having those artificial parameters around my dollars has helped me see that I have a finite amount of money for this week (but it’s okay, because in seven more days, I’ll have more),” writes Laurie at Three Year Experiment.

“In June, we spent $1243.61 on food.”

“In August, we spent $597.13.”
