Have you looked at how much you spend eating out versus buying the food

okay, so over the summer I started looking at what was happening to my money I was getting and the food stamps I was receiving. You know you still have to manage no matter where it comes from. I done good managing 300 a month on food between me and my mom and my daughter. of course I also got help with Wic and Cash assistance as well from my state. WIC helps women who don't have enough income to still get the basics like milk, juice, eggs, cheese and peanut butter or cereal. When you're have a baby they help you as well to get the nurtients the baby needs when it's born. It was a life savor for me cause I've been out of work for two years. Anyways, the Wic, put it about 360 a month on groceries. I was budgetting to where I was only spending about 80 - 100 a week of my food stamps and getting my wic once at the beginning of the month and again in the middle of the month. I found it was less confusing than getting it all at once. So, what i'm asking is , how do you budget when all of a sudden you have one less person you have to feed. he was my boyfriend and he moved in, but we didn't know how long it was going to last so we didn't put him on our plan we have. anyways, I was doing good before then when he moved in it was like I was spending twice that much every week. He's been gone since february and I'm still having a hard time going back to what i was doing before. does any one have any ideas that would help me budget better? I'm currently trying that michael thurmond plan where you eat according to your body type and what they say you can have. I'm just wondering if someone has an idea about budgetting in those factors or if there is someone else that is doing the plan as well.
