Mad at my husband over grocery money

We've been taking little trips to the grocery store here and there since payday last week. I have 150 dollars budgeted for groceries and after DH told me he spent 42 dollars yesterday at the store buying frozen pizza and a few odds and ends, I was thinking...CRAP>>> you just blew my food budget! SO I decided to use my handy quicken calculators to find out just how much we've already wasted at the grocery store without taking an official grocery trip and we've already spent 93 dollars on groceries this week! AHHHHHH! So I have 60 dollars left in my budget for food. That's depressing, but I think a lightbulb clicked in my head. Maybe this is why we've been blowing our budget, because DH is spending small amounts at the grocery store for Friday nights and I'm not counting that when I go and spend my whopping amount on grocery day. I guess I need to keep better track.
I think I can make it on 60 bucks this week though because I have a lot of meat in the freezer.

Isn't Quicken a dream I been telling people for years
Lucky for your hubby TP does NOT have an expiration date!!
I agree, the food budget is the hardest one to stick to.

Your husband needs a spanking this month Jeezeeeeeee. LOL, I'm just kidding. I know this may be futile but have you tried to sit him down and talk to him lately? Tell him you are stressing over these matters. Tell him the numbers and at the very least see what he says?
