wow,
i thought i wass high onprices lol. but i spend anywhere from 64-100 a month on a family of 3 soon 2 be 4. and we always have allot of leftovers left before the next month time to shop.
you big spenders. lol just kidding. but thats my budget 64-100 a month. that INCLUDES. tissue, from sam's we get the one that has 36or 48 rolls in it, and they last us over a month. and soap and everything.
i shop at save a lot, and kayes, and everyewhere, except KROGERS' avoid KROGERS' unles they have a sale. lol, krogers food is exspensive. i spent 50 bucks there one time and came out with like 5 bags
i was like no way.
so it can be done. trust me, and when u are in hard times and money is tight. we always spend 65 a month. and that includes meats, and all. i don't use tampons or pads, since i was using cloth diapers. for my pads, and had them for over a year. and they are still good. i just take them and fold them like a pad, and sew them up and down the sides, and for light days i take 1 and cut it in half, and do the same and have 2 pads from one diaper. oh yea and i use the cheap kind from walmartt. gerber i believe. 12 for like 12 bucks, and they have lasted me over a year. the only thing i did wrong was bleachthem, and got major holes and tears.
