I don't see this thread started anywhere so want to get it started now. For the month of January I want to spend no more than $350.00 on groceries and $75.00 on stockpiling.
I am going to try and really tighten down for January. I've got quite a nice little stockpile going at the moment. We won't even discuss the out to eat out-of-handness. Anyway I'll be shooting for $200 another all inclusive month of groceries, household, HBA, pets, and out to eat.
For 2 dogs, 1 cat, 2 bottomless pits, 2 adults and company at least 3 times this coming month. I will be super excited if I can pull this one off.
I have January's dinners all planned and almost everything should come out of my stockpile. I'll shoot for $200 so I can continue to stockpile as well as a OAM cooking planned for a long weekend. Crossing my fingers!
Ok... this sounds like something we can do. I will include everything, food, cleaners and such. It will be for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. I would like to stay under $300 for shopping and $50 for stockpiling.
I'm still working on my menu plan (I really need to do this so I can spend less $$ at the grocery store!) but my goal will be $75 a week......$300 for the month. That is for dh, ds-15 and eats like there will be no tomorrow!, dd-21 and myself, also 1 dog and a brand new cat!
O.K. I'm in for $500 this month; $450 for food to eat this month and $50 for my stockpile. That is for 2 adults and 2 children to include paper supplies and cleaning supplies.:hero:
This is where I really need to focus. I spend way to much money for groceries for a single person. I only eat out twice a month, and that's usually chinese, which is really cheap. I'm going to say $300 for everything but pet food/supplies and then really try to come in less than that. I have a small stockpile. I'm almost out of meet though, so I need to stock up on that.
I'm wanting to stay under 300$ for the month of January. That includes shopping for Zac, Wesley, and I, all of our HBA and paper goods. Also includes snackies for Zac to take on patrol.
I'm in for January as I missed December's challenge with everything we had going on. I usually was at $400 a month, but I'm uping that to $450 to give a bit more variety or stocking up power to help curb take out eating. This includes all groceries, toiletries & beauty, cleaning & la undry supplies etc (but not pet or prescription meds).
I think I'll give this a go for January. I'm in for $300 for all groceries and household stuff for 2 adults, 1 DD and 2 fat cats. We don't eat out much but it has it's own line item in the budget, so that will be separate.
Okay, since this is one of my goals for 2009, I'm in.
Right now we average spending around $600.00 per month, so I'd like to slowly cut this amount down.
So, for this upcoming month, I'd like to try for $500.00.
I know this still sounds like a whole lot, but if I can knock off just $100.00 this month, that will give me enough encouragement to try for even less in the upcoming months.
So, $500.00 for a family of 4 adults, 4 large dogs, 1 small dog & 1 kitty.
In this amount, I will include everything:
food, personal care items, pet supplies, some stockpile items and any cleaning supplies (garbage bags, batteries, lightbulbs, etc.).
Going to try this...I will try for $500 for the month of January for a family of three--me, my DH and my 22 year old DS plus 2 cats. This will include everything and also I am going to work on starting a stockpile.
I am going to be eating from the stockpile totally the month of January.
I am going to set the budget at $60 for the month.
This will only be for produce and dairy products.
I make all of my bread and have a huge stockpile to eat off of.
DH is totally on board for this, so it will be a lot easier is we run out of something he won't fuss if it is gone.
I will be blogging my journey to hold me more accountable.
I am going to make a menu and follow it.
I will follow your blog as I have said before that I am going to do that and have not done it.
I will watch you and if you can do it it will give me the push to do it as well.
I am in for $400 this month any that I do not spend for groceries will more to my EF
I am going for $175.00 per check (3) for 2 adults, 1 cat, 1 dog, 2 birds, and 3 fish. That includes food, HBA, laundry, paper products. $25.00 a check of that to go to stockpile.
I'm going to try and buckle down with my grocery bill this month. Shooting for $350 for the month ($50 less than my usual budget). This is everything for 2 adults, 2 children, 5 dogs, and 3 cats.
