My grocery budget blew up for 4 months before I noticed
I kept telling myself the extra $40 a week was just inflation, but then I checked my receipts from March and saw I was buying lunch at the deli counter 3 times a week without thinking about it. It took me 16 weeks to actually sit down and add up what that convenience was costing, which was around $260 total. Has anyone else had a small habit quietly eat their budget for way longer than they expected?
