Between hosting a party and hosting family Christmas, I knew it would be a doozie. But I wasn&#8217;t about to let my commitment to track for a year end here, so here we are. These are December&#8217;s grocery totals by store-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ahealthysliceoflife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-1024x633.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ahealthysliceoflife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-1024x633.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ahealthysliceoflife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-640x396.png 640w, https:\/\/www.ahealthysliceoflife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-768x475.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ahealthysliceoflife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-655x405.png 655w, https:\/\/www.ahealthysliceoflife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Publix<\/td><td>$183.51<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lowe&#8217;s Foods<\/td><td>$60.15<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Costco<\/td><td>$805.06<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Food Lion<\/td><td>$109.19<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Whole Foods<\/td><td>$345.09<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aldi<\/td><td>$112.18<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>TOTAL<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>$1,615.18<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You&#8217;re welcome, Costco.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That feels like a lot to spend of food and drink, but I&#8217;m not surprised, as Christmas is a time when we really go all out with food. Not necessarily in extravagance, but certainly with plentiful. I feel fortunate that we are in a place to be able to do that. I also got a question about the cost of hosting family for Christmas. While I&#8217;d happily spend whatever to feed us if it means we can be together, my mom is very generous and gifts me a check to go towards all the food. <em>Thank you, again, Mama.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to pull together a cumulative look at my grocery spending for the year since I tracked all 12 months (all breakdowns, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahealthysliceoflife.com\/category\/personal\/finances\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>). I&#8217;ll share that in the next week or two! I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ll track monthly for next year on the blog or not yet. It held me accountable, but not sure if it&#8217;s something anyone else really cares to see or not. Thank you for joining me through this tracking adventure though; it&#8217;s been a useful practice for me to more closely observe where our grocery money goes and how best to stretch it. But more on that in the year wrap up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
