How much does your family spend on Household Consumables? You know, things like toilet paper, toothpaste, paper towels, detergent and soap...things you use up and throw away.
When creating a budget for Household Consumables for your family budget, it helps to look at what you actually need. Toilet paper? Yes! Hair dye? Maybe Purple hair dye? Maybe not.
As you go through these categories, your family may have different needs. Be sure to factor those into your budget. Also, don't be afraid to reassess items that you may be accustomed to, but aren't necessarily "essential." Can you live without contact solution? You can if you wear your glasses. Can you live without hairspray? Try it for a week and see. Do you need batteries for your smoke alarm (yes!) or kids' toys? Hint: The toys that take batteries are usually the loud, annoying ones...
