Could you make this work?

[Linda_Runs]

Sounds like you are on the right track.

We couldn't, and we are a family of 3, no kids in diapers or on formula, and not dog

I've used the same for my bank before. It was great.

Put in individual budgets. Food, activities, misc purchases etc. Then you can see where your money is going. I found my misc budget went over.

Good luck.

How much do you spend on a average month for:
Food?
Diapers & formula?
Basic needs?

[Gorilla_Mama]

We have no diapers or formula and I spend $100 to $150 a week on groceries. If we didn’t go out to eat at all I could probably make it work.

I don't know how much formula costs nowadays, but I'm pretty sure I could. I remember it being pretty expensive.

[Smarties]

I could definitely do it, but I'm as thrifty as they come. I've been called out on that, lol. Sounds like you have a good plan. Good luck.

No way. I spend more than that on groceries alone for a family of 4.

[Deleted User 172]

Maybe. I've got my groceries down to about 250 a month.
Diapers and formula will add up though. Get store brand if you can.

No idea, I don't really keep track of how much I spend on groceries
