Food expense

[5 Little Monkeys]

I will have to think about how I want to do it this year. I don't cook every day for them either. I do my cooking for the week on Sunday's usually and the baking about once a month or so and then it gets frozen. I shop weekly for both dc and us as I shop sales and find the best deals this way (unless I make a trip to the states or costco). I have to shop weekly for produce and milk anyways.

I pay a lot at income tax time because I have low expenses (apparently being mortgage free is one of the biggest expenses I "lose" out on) so I do try to get my other expenses higher. Believe it or not, my grocery expense is actually higher this year than last! I buy a lot of used toys so my toy expense is low as well. I am trying to buy more new toys this year but when you are used to making money stretch, it can be a hard habit to break!!
