338. How Much Do You Spend on Food? Grocery Spending Audit

Opening Bible verse: Luke 2:41-52 Building wealth begins with knowing where you spend your money. Today's episode has homework. Go back through January, February and March of this year and see how much you spent on food. Please see your April newsletter for the homework sheet. Please do not get hung up on finding the perfect numbers. We are looking for a fairly good estimate of what you typically spend each month on food. Knowing this number will be important to know what you can actually afford to be spending versus your actual costs. You can't improve on a number if you don't know the number. I have found that my clients/students who never track food spending or meal plan and begin to do both in my coaching program, pay for the course with their savings in this area alone! In other words, this is worth the cost of the program right here and you're getting it for free! Our new declutter focus area for April is YOUR bedroom. Saturday's episode will give you  your first small area to declutter within your bedroom. ***ARE YOU A NEW LISTENER? EVERYTHING YOU'LL NEED TO KNOW IS HERE: This year we are doing my group coaching course together via this podcast! It's free and it only gets better as the year progresses.  In January we began with God at the center of our day and our home. We worked to build the habit of a morning prayer routine. I highly recommend the rosary. It’s only about 20 minutes and you’ll meditate on the whole life of Jesus. February is the month of decluttering. Saturday episodes have been added to focus on decluttering in the kitchen. Each month will have a different focus area and the Saturday episodes will help you focus on one small section of that room.  March was all about decluttering your wardrobe. April is about Grocery Spending and Meals We Like. Declutter focus area is Primary Bedroom. If you're new here, welcome and give this first episode of 2026 a listen to hear where to begin: 316.
