Over the budget
Last Monday, my sister and I along with Hazel went grocery shopping. I told myself that I will limit the number of grocery items to the necessities only and will not go over budget this time around. I always find myself buying so many things for the kitchen that I go beyond my grocery budget every single time I go to the supermarket.
But guess what? I still went beyond my budget! Not because I bought unnecessary things. It’s because prices of commodities have gone up! Or maybe I didn’t notice it the last time? I was shocked to find that so many of the usual things I buy for the pantry are now more expensive than before. Even the disposable diapers are just too costly now. We buy one for Hazel for when she goes to sleep at night and one for my grandma (incontinence).
It’s really time for me to earn more. Time to make that big decision tonight!
