She goes to market on every Sunday and I give her around $250. She writes down all the prices of things she buys. Also, she writes a list for me required buying in Supermarket. I buy that things by myself. She is quite honest as I ask her to buy some bread or snack for herself but she is seldom to do so.
I am a working mum and I use the same method too. Since my maid has come only three months ad she is quite stupid So I cannot rely on her to go to the market.
Thanks! Will you ask her what she should buy everyday or not?
I authorize her to take her initiative to help me check the inventory and replenish. Since there are more than 1 market near my house, I ask her to go shopping daily. Since I ask for receipts and expenses diary to be clearly recorded, I don't find my money being over-spent.
