I was amazed at our grocery budget last month but I forgot one important thing.
Kids are all on the same milk now (No more whole milk since LM turned 2) which makes it much easier to buy milk on sale (We can now buy 2 gallons of the same milk every time for the discount).
Plus the kids just naturally drink less milk with time.
I think it probably explains A LOT. Once we are done with diapers I imagine we will save $70 or so a month. ($50 diaper service and around $20 paper diapers).
Plus once he starts to get near potty training we will probably switch to pull ups which are much cheaper anyway.
Oh that will be NICE to be done with diapers.
& then one out of preschool next year?
Oh yeah I will do the happy dance with Paulette when I no longer have to pay a zillion dollars just to leave the kids somewhere for a few hours. Even with not relying on daycare it will just make all the difference when the kids start school. Means it won't be cost prohibitive for dh to get a job. Now that will be so nice...
Yeah, there is still hope for more budget busting in the next year or so.
