When are we starting? I want in. I have 3 in my home and 1 away at college. Am I to include the my college daughter only during the vacation time? I try to buy things she needs for college as she is a vegetarian and our cultural foods from Mexico.
If you want to include her that is up to you.
This is more of a personal challenge for everyone to lower there grocery bill and use up what you have in the freezer/pantry. You may need to get creative with your meals to use up all of the odd things lingering in the back of the pantry or freezer.
I'm in. I have 2 in my family (my dad eats my produce though, ugh! LOL!) so $50. I would love to get lower than this. $75 is my budget ($300 a month) so this is going to be a wonderful challenge for me!
I would like to join in also. I will try for $20. There are three of us, so $80 a month. I have already bought some of my extra Christmas supplies. I have FULL cabinets and freezers too. I should be good to go.
I'm in My grocery/playdate/eating out budget is $100/week. Technically a 5 person family (I'm exclusively nursing the new little guy) but we'll just count the 4 eating food so $25/week for each of us
Just 2 days to go.
Need to do inventory and meal planning in the next couple of days.
I already have the meat for Christmas and there will only be 4 of use here so not much extra buying for that day.
I do need to stock up on WW and White flour if it goes on sale in December as I am running low on both of them.
My goal is to spend $25 or less for the entire month. I have a large stockpile, and only one mouth to feed. I have gone over my budget for the past two months due to having company, so I plan to cut back to try to salvage the year's budget.
I'm in. I have a pretty large stockpile so I don't think I'll have to buy much this month. I'm going to aim for $10 for the whole month which will probably be spent on one gallon of milk and any sales I can't pass up. I'll be shopping for just myself.
well, so far the beginning of Dec. has been a good and bad start. Good: breakfast was a box of frozen pastries that I bought months ago, lunch consisted of frozen turkey left overs and a bag of rice/veggie mix that has been in the freezer for a while.
Bad: I ran out of milk last night.
Well i have spent $82.00 today. Now this includes some stockpile items and i am in for $100.00. Now saying that i am leaving to go to my parents for Christmas from 12/17/09-01/04/2010. This amount does not include eating out the day I fly out. I am hoping to have no-eat out days until i leave.
I spent $48.00 today as our IGA store I'd having a $1.00 sale going on and I needed to stockup on some meat..so I bought the following:: 15# of Chicken breast....10# of Hamburger....5 packages of English muffins....5 half gallons of Orange juice...and 1 gallon of Bleach....Hands down a darn good deal for the money!
No money spent today!!
I have only bought a gallon of milk some apples and oranges since last Wed.
Will need to get a few items in the next couple of day for sure.
I only have a 1/2 gallon of milk left.
