I used to keep a budget for groceries and gas but with all the major price increases and stock issues we had had in the past I kinda let that go.
If I see something that is back in stock that we use a lot of and I know is questionable whether or not it will stay in stock I will get it. I shop a few different stores for sale items and stock up when I can. We started keeping what some refer to a a prepper stock pile several years ago and because of that I have learned what is my is stock up price and who usually has the better deals.
We are cutting back on eating out, going to the movies, etc to save money. Instead we plan on having more date nights at home with family and friends: Game nights (board games, corn hole, billards, etc) movie night and drinks around the firepit so that will save us money. A few of us are with in walking distance to each others homes so no waste of gas there
I have my grill and smoker so I am planning on using them much more this summer.
