Pro tip: it took me 14 months to figure out why my grocery budget kept blowing up
I was tracking every receipt in a little notebook and still going over by $150 most months. Turns out my Tuesday run to the store in Salem always turned into three extra trips because I never checked what was actually in the fridge first. Started doing a quick shelf check before I leave the house and the overage dropped to about $20 a month. Took me 14 months to connect those dots, does anyone else have a dumb simple fix that took way too long to find?
Wow, only 14 months to figure out you should look in your own fridge? Next you'll tell me you spent a year learning that buying food you already have makes you buy more food.
