I only spent how much????

Well, I took out my checkbook the other day to determine how much I had spent on groceries in 2007. I went through my register and carefully added up each weeks purchase. "Gasp" it was less then $4,000.00. Thats my goal for 2008! How in the world am I going to save money and pay off some bills if all I spend the same thing I did last year? Great, now what? That sick feeling started to churn in my gut again. I am never going to be free from my money problems. I guess its time to look at my bank statments. I need to see how many purchases I made with my debit card. Then I need to weed through my husband's statements and determine how much he spent for us to eat out. I will post the results soon.
