So, I gather that both you and Dan put the same amount (or a percentage) into the joint account to cover mutual expenses) and then have some money left in our own bank account? <br /><br />We spent about $130-150 on groceries every week and eat out once or twice. We don't have many other expenses during the week though. We both almost never buy coffee or lunch out (only on occasion). <br /><br />Sanhttp://theinbetweenismine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-75597297081155962012016-08-24T07:48:18.036-07:002016-08-24T07:48:18.036-07:00That's amazing Diana!

We even skip spending on some smaller things; we don't have cable or even Netflix.

What is in the black bean salad? And do you have a burrito bowl recipe? This was so interesting to read through-- and gave me so many good meal ideas. (as I'm also currently on pinterest looking for recipes!) I'm also really inspired by what you guys spend on groceries-- no matter how hard we try and budget it seems like we easily go over $100 (often by a lot) on groceries every week.
