What Are The Factors To Consider In Preparing A Food Budget?

Here are some questions you should ask yourself:

• How many souls do you have to feed? (like dah)
  
• Is one, or more of them, boys in their teens? (those suckers eat a lot)
  
• How much do you usually spend on food as a percentage of your income? (25-30% is about right)
  
• Do you cook at home? (always cheaper)
  
• Do you buy fresh produce, or go for the TV dinner and processed food solution? (those processed foods are expensive, and bad for you)
• Do you throw out a lot of unfinished food? (if the answer is yes, then stop doing that. Either buy less, or make creative use of leftovers)
• Do you need a diet? (a diet is a great way to save money on food)
• Do you exercise? (people in good physical shape process food more efficiently)
• Are you a disciplined person/family? (discipline is the key to any budgetary plan)

Well, there are more issues to consider, but these are the basic ones.

Good Luck.
