January Grocery Budget and Miscellaneous Spending Update

To keep me honest and on track, I'm going to keep track of our $400 monthly grocery budget and our $250 miscellaneous spending budget.  I ran into Acme today because we were completely out of dishwashing detergent.  So I picked up a few things they had on sale so I won't need to go back this weekend.

I spent:

• $25 "extra" money - 60 pack of cascade dishwashing paks, 4 deoderants and 2 boxes of tissues, hair gel.  (I used a 50 cents off coupon for the dishwasher paks, it was still expensive though.  I need to remember to have my mom pick some of these up for me at Sam's club.  They have them for much cheaper.)
• $6 Grocery Budget - 6 yoplait yogurts, bananas, Fat Free cheese slices

Remaining Money for January - 

• $200 - Extra Money
• $194 - Groceries

We got another Free Ham from Mr. R's work.  Someone never claimed their Christmas Ham so he brought it home.
