I sometimes just find amazing things I didn't know they had haha! Since getting your budget spreadsheet, I've been pretty good at staying close to my target of $400/month for groceries...I think that has been my biggest helper. And I have YOU to thank for that :)Megynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237520120571515528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471390087114256737.post-32284829902446271832014-05-04T17:13:00.129-04:002014-05-04T17:13:00.129-04:00That's an excellent idea, Sue!

One idea I've read about that makes sense is -- don't have your reward be in the form of food (if the goal is a specific diet or health plan) -- or in your case it would be "don't have your reward be anything that costs money". So, you might reward yourself with time instead of something purchased -- reward yourself with whatever activity you enjoy and consider a treat -- a bubble bath, an extra hour of curling up with a good book, a favorite weekend hike, whatever. A soaking bath works for me.Sue Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959917241722708193noreply@blogger.com
