My coworker laughed at my $37 monthly meal plan, then asked for the spreadsheet

She said budgeting was for people who couldn't handle their money, but after I showed her my average grocery bill dropped from $310 to $87 over 4 months in Pittsburgh, she asked me to email her the template, so is it a win or just pride before a fall?

Guess I should be offended she thinks my $37 plan is a flex, but honestly my grocery budget used to fund my emergency pizza stash, so I'll take the win.

Set aside 10 bucks from your grocery budget every payday for the pizza stash now. That way you're not lying to yourself about where the money goes, but you still get the emergency pizza. Trust me, it's way easier to stick to a plan when you build the cheat into it.
