This is another grocery week for us. Last time, we went overbudget to the tune of $60. Wow! I haven't done that since I was doing the bulk of our shopping at Walmart.
I keep hearing how the drought is supposed to start driving food prices up; I don't know if the increased cost last time was at least partly to blame on higher prices or if something else was to blame, such as running out of a lot of high-dollar grocery items -- laundry soap, other cleansers, toilet paper, etc. -- at the same time.
Hopefully, this week goes a lot better, but perhaps I'll start hanging on to my receipts so that I can know exactly why we might have future bill surges and may be able to predict and offset them so that I don't have to take from another budgeted item to make up the shortfall.
