Normally I use a debit card for groceries but for this experiment I will use cash. I always used to use cash for groceries but started using my debit card because it's "easier". I know that it hurts more to spend cash, so I plan on going back to cash. My expenses for the past week are:
7/1 - $14 (Target)
7/2 - $4.06 (Kroger)
7/2 - $6.17 (Target)
7/4 - $5.71 (Target)
7/5 $20.03 (Popeyes)
Total as of 7/5 - $49.97
Why all the Target expenses you ask? I kept going back in there for items I forgot for a 4th of July party. The Popeyes expense came about because we promised our DD last Sunday that we would eat there after church today (we made the promise before I decided to start this challenge).
Tonight I'll be making my menus for this week based on local sales ads and what's in my pantry, then I'll make my shopping list for the week. I know it's gonna be fairly short so I'm going to attempt to keep the total spent below $50. We'll see how the week goes.
