Grocery Budgeting Part 4
What do you and your children drink during the day?

We aim to drink water during the day, except for a glass of juice with our breakfast. Hubby enjoys his cups of coffee, and I'll have a cup or two of tea. The children sometimes have a hot cup of milo( hot chocolate) in the evenings, especially with winter coming on now.

We only have fizzy drink ( soda) once per week. I buy one bottle to have on Sundays, and we don't all even have a glass as we're not that crazy on the taste.

Drinking water is not only good for you, it's good for the budget. I must try and get back to drinking my 8 glasses per day. I've been a little slack of late!

Cost for the week: $4 approx for coffee, tea, milo and lemonade. I haven't included the juice as that's past of our breakfast budget.

By cutting back on lemonade and sugary drinks you can see the savings in your weekly grocery bill. Multiply your savings by 52 weeks, and you might get quite a surprise!

I love being a stay at home mum with our six beautiful children from the Lord. Each day we strive to live faithfully for Him in thankfulness for His gift of full and free salvation.
