Hello Financial Healers,
In yesterday’s post, I provided a handout, which helps you identify categories where you might be wasting money (i.e., food, transportation, education). A follower on social media brought up a good point:
“the figures that the govt give for food spending etc are so far off reality though after the post Covid inflation bubble you couldn’t use the govt report in your Substack to budget. I think the Krazy coupon lady has a good handle on the true nature of food inflation.”
I checked the post, and I have to agree. Use KCL’s information, and add $1,068 to the average annual spending for food.
This means, if a household spends $5,783 annually on groceries, add $1,068 and bring that number to $6,851. This gives you a more accurate figure to compare your grocery spending to.
We can talk more about this in today’s live discussion at 3:30 PM (CA time).
