2. Introduction
• National Home Grocer provides a selection of close to
300 natural and healthy foods that it delivers free of

Grocer collaborates with clients to develop a budget and
menu plan to help them optimize spending and ensure a
pantry stocked with wholesome items.
Developing a grocery budget can be an ideal way of
controlling your food spending and ensuring that you
purchase only those items that you need. You can begin
to create your budget by establishing a spending goal,
which you then compare you your actual spending as
reported on your receipts.
3. Budget for Groceries
• If you are concerned with what you are buying,
rather than purely how much, you may wish to
record your purchases based on categories. This
will allow you to see the amounts you are
spending on dairy, fresh meats, fruits and
vegetables, frozen foods, and any other type of
food you wish to track.
Once you know what you have bought, you can
begin to eliminate luxury items by checking your
pantry for those things that have gone uneaten.
4. Conclusion
• You can then refine your list to include only
those foods that will become a part of your
menu. Many people like to develop a menu for
the week or the month before shopping. Doing
so allows you to identify those purchases that
will go to immediate use. As you implement your
budget, continue to track your spending so that
you can acknowledge your success.
