I want to track our grocery expenses to see where we can cut down there.

Thank you for coming by my blog to show your support! <br /><br />I am ashamed to admit that I constantly swipe my card and hardly think about it! I think my wake up call was when I ended up spending 40 dollars on fast food in one week! When I have the kids and we are out and about, I quickly run through a drive thru for a peace of mind! Those little things add up and end up costing a lot!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707872789230941186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373462146240321888.post-47090217903965567992013-11-01T09:38:59.926-07:002013-11-01T09:38:59.926-07:00I don't but I should.
