February Grocery Spending Recap....

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.  I put in all my totals for February - and I spent $520 on groceries.  Over $100 more than I plan for.  Oops.  I suck.  That's all I can say. 

But enough about February - time to move forward and think of March.  This is a good time to remember a couple things:

-  I told myself that eating healthy is more important than a budget. This is just a yearly goal - and if I fail, I fail.  I'd like to stick to around $5K this year just to say "yeah, I did it" - but if it doesn't happen, it doesn't.  But with that said, I'm still sticking to a goal of $5K.

-  I think that stupid BJ's rebate really put me over - but hoping the $40 gift card will soothe my pain.

-  I've lost 12.8 lbs since January 1st.  Who cares what I'm spending!  Woohoo!

Nice Job!. I have been on a weight loss voyage as well and alas my budget is out the window too. I am trying to real it back in, but I agree with you the weight loss is important too.
