If youre frequently exceeding those budgets, dont keep lying to yourself and adjusting to fit the narrative.

Adjust your budget instead.

If it happens once, thats a slip up.

We just werent being truthful about how much we could reduce our grocery spending.

This resulted in having to make frequent budget adjustments to make up for the grocery overages.
