March Grocery Spending
In March, my grocery spending was $479. Yeah under my $500 budget! Still looking to have a really good "low" month of $400, but we have to eat!
So far this year:
January $550.
February $468
March $479
average so far: $499
It is important to note that this includes sales tax. Unfortunately in Alabama, there is sales tax on food. We are one of a few states who taxes food. It is really sad. This is one tax I disagree with. I feel that the poor could greatly benefit it this tax was lifted!
