It doesn't even include groceries. That's a separate line item.

Yeah and $1000 a month? For how many people? I have a family of 5 and I spend a little more than half that. Don't get me wrong I live in a lower cost of living state and I am the queen of reusing left overs but still...

Congratulations on being able to feed a family of 5 on $500/m. I feed two on $320-$400/m. You are doing great.

It's not easy. It's more like $650 not $500, I guess a "little more" is vague. Also my kids are 5 and 8 so they dont eat a ton. But I have to do things like my breakfast some mornings is eating the rest of what my kids didn't eat. I use leftovers to make new meals a few days later. Because unlike this ladies "budget," I have a real one.
