  2. Well forever my budget was $125 a week BUT with a year of couponing under my belt AND with the accountability of this blog I wanted to challenge myself so I lowered our budget to $5000 a year which ends up being around $96 a week. This budget includes all food, toiletries, make up, cleaning items, OTC meds, wipes (Dear Mom buys diapers- i know i'm spoiled!) Pretty much anything I buy at Kroger or Walgreens. Hope that helps!
