That is higher than it needs to be. DD and I both had birthdays in there, which accounts for slightly higher totals. While the restaurant total is high, it represents only three meals out all month, which is an improvement. One of those meals was my birthday dinner, and I don't feel bad about it. And part of that grocery shopping included food for DD's birthday dinner and birthday party. I don't normally buy sodas and such, and that can add up quickly.

The Starbucks total is for DH and me, and it could stand to come down. At $22 each per month, that's 7 or 8 coffee drinks each, or fewer drinks but more baked goods. There is room for a little bit of saving there. I don't want to get rid of my lattes entirely and at this point don't intend to, but setting a goal of no more than 6 for March would be a step in the direction of saving.

$500 for food and drinks. Yes, there is room for improvment there this month. The ski trip is going to cost us, food-wise, but I'll bring what I can and shop there for refrigerated items once we're there and see how well-equipped the condo is. I'm bringing my ground Starbucks coffee, so hopefully there'll be a coffee maker.
