One of the biggest challenges to budgeting for me is setting a monthly grocery budget -- and figuring out the ratio of buying groceries to buying relatively cheap "restaurant" food like a $5 Subway sandwich. Sometimes a $5 sandwich seems like a good deal compared to spending more making a healthy dinner at home. Do you have any advice for how much a monthly grocery budget should be? Or what percentage of your income it should comprise? Or how much you should be spending per meal (groceries and eating out combined)? All of these would be great topics for a blog post. If you have a post about this already, I'd love to see it. Thanks Hey there,
