If You've Budgeted Well, You Don't Need to Feel Guilty About Every Purchase

Budgeting your money is a good, healthy, terribly guilt-inducing habit.

Personal finance blog Money Ning points out how this concept applies to a food budget.

The problem is, feeling guilty because of the price tag doesnt help anyone.

I do not worry too much about what I spend at the grocery store.

Some months I might spend $100-200 extra if there are amazing meat (usually organic meat) clearances.

Other months, I might spend $100-200 less because I am benefiting from a full freezer.

As much as we all like to deny it, there are certain things that welikespending money on.

Experiences, food, or just the occasional indulgence.

Constantly depriving yourself is a quick way to compromise your budget.
