My sister asked why I had $11 in my checking account on a Tuesday, and it made me rethink my whole grocery system
My sister stayed with me last month in Sacramento and saw my bank app open on the counter. She asked why there was only $11 in checking on a random Tuesday. I told her it's on purpose, because I move everything to savings the second I get paid, and groceries come from a separate cash envelope. She said her household of four eats on $95 a week, which floored me since I was spending $130 just on me. Turns out she plans meals around what's already in the pantry before she shops, and she only hits the store once every 8 days instead of grabbing stuff every other day. I tried it for 3 weeks and my food spending dropped to $78 a week. Anyone else switch to one big shop instead of little trips, and did it stick for you?
