Need vs Want

To help us understand the difference between need and wants we looked at shopping for our family. I worked with Paula to complete a list . At first a budget was not stated.  The only guidelines were having enough groceries to cater for 5 meals, include fruit and sanitary products.   After we completed the list we received a budget and had to think which items were necessary and which weren't summary.

Our original list cost us $122  After receiving our budget we had to $160 .Our left over budget $38 . We decided to treat our family .
