Last week I finally broke my $30 weekly food budget and it felt amazing

I've been trying to stick to a $30 weekly food budget for two months now. Last week I hit $28.47 at the grocery store and I nearly cried in the checkout line. I planned every single meal around what was on sale at the Kroger near my apartment. I even started making my own bread, which saved me about $3 a week. The best part was I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. Has anyone else had a week where everything just clicked and you smashed your budget goal by a lot?

Nah, you're missing the point. That feeling of winning against the system is real.

Are you really that choked up over saving two bucks on groceries? Feels like you're putting way too much pressure on yourself for a few dollars.
