Default When you speak of groceries.......

do you mean only food or do you include everything in it? When I say groceries I mean whatever I can buy at Walmart LOL. I include people food, pet food, paper products, health and beauty, cleaning products, etc.

For me 'groceries' are food, personal items (TP, shampoo, etc.), pet food and non-foods (foil, laundry detergent,etc.). Basically anything that goes on the grocery list.

Generally, I mean just groceries. I hate buying groceries at wal mart anymore so I get foodstuffs at kroger or foodlion and get my paper products and house supplies where ever I can find them cheapest. More and more thats at Dollar General!

Everything but our dog's food - she has a separate budget since I don't buy her food at the grocery store, but at a pet food store.
