In 2017 I allotted $12. 31 a day to cover our food costs. That comes out to $6.16 a day per person. This covered our groceries and the cost of eating out. We managed to end the year with $$326.60 of the money unspent. That averaged out to $0.90 per day less than the $12.31 allocated.
Technically, I should lower our daily allocation to $11.41 a day. However, I spent too much time in the hospital this past year. And, health willing, I want to spend more time eating out with friends this year.
So, I am leaving our allocation at $12.30 per day and I am carrying over our $326.60 surplus. Hopefully, that will work for 2018.
Our pantry and freezer are full, so it should be doable. Time will tell.
