For example, if we were to normally spend $500 a month on groceries, but instead I was able to only spend $200 on groceries for that month, I would have earned us $300!
I personally recommend setting an extremely tight budget the first month, to see what is possible and what is not, and then adjust every month after, like if you run out of food budget after 2 weeks, obviously you’ll definitely need to adjust your food budget.
If you need a place to start you can look at our google sheets and explanation below to get an idea of what our budget and categories look like.
$200-$300 Food– Grocery store bought food only (eating out goes in entertainment)
$20 Gifts – Gifts for friends or family, giving is so important!
