Grocery/ Household Spending

Because I primarily use my Chase credit card for my grocery spending (5 pts per $ on gas, groceries, & drug store purchases) and it is set up on a mid month pay cycle, I figure out how much I have been spending on groceries the 15th to the 15th. My goal is to stay between $100 and $200 per month for me, my boyfriend, and our two dogs. This past month I came under budget!
