2011 Grocery Budget

I made a goal (not a resolution) to keep my grocery budget at $225 a month for 2011. I know this is very difficult, especially when you have a husband that insists on eating meat  with every meal! Last month I went over budget because I went a little coupon crazy and felt like I needed to get all the deals. But, I am now realizing that you don't need 10 bottles of dish soap, even if it is a good deal. I did stock up on some case lot stuff so I am building a little food storage, and it will help lower my food bill for other months. So far for this month I am under budget and am hoping that I am going to meet my goal!  Couponing definitely takes time and work, but if you are a stay at home mom and trying to make ends meet it is totally worth it! I would love to help anyone who is just getting started or thinking about getting started with couponing.
