October Goals

We're trying something new this month as a family.  We are setting some goals. 
Goal #1:  For the month of October, we are going to try to cut our grocery and household budget by $250.  This budget will include all food, cleaning supplies, health/beauty products, diapers, and even dining out.  I think we can do it!  In order to help achieve this goal, we are going to use the envelope budget.  We will put a specific amount of cash for our groceries and household items into an envelope.  Once the money is spent, that's it..no more shopping for the month! 

Goal #2:  Decrease our use of paper towels.  I realized we were going through almost a roll a day.  Not only is this wasteful, but costly!  Our goal is to use hand towels more frequently and cut our paper towel usage down to only 1 roll a week.

At the end of the month, I'll let you know how we did!
What are your goals?
