Grocery Challenge Update

September 16th, 2008 at 01:19 pm

It's been a while since I posted on my progress. I'm still doing ok with it. I'm sticking to about $100/week at A&P or Shoprite. I did go to BJs to stock up on some things, and after backing out the price of stuff I bought for Dad and MIL, and alcohol (charged to "Entertainment") I spent about another $100.

My goal today is to pay some bills and update my checkbook (we got paid yesterday). I need to deposit a check in the bank also.

I'm intrigued by all of the turmoil in the markets and wondering how it will affect us personally. I'm sure the balance on our investments will be way lower because of the market, but we're in those for the long-term. My job is safe. Hubby's company was just taken over (bought out, whatever phrase they use). We're not sure what the impact of that will be, or when we'll see it. I guess the plan is just to continue to hunker down...

    Good work on your grocery challenge. I need to do something like that myself. . . but am dragging my heels a bit.

    I was reading your earlier postings. . . is your DH going to get involved in grocery purchasing? An earlier entry seemed to indicate that he was.

    Initially, he was supposed to do it all, but that wasn't really practical for us. Then, we were going to plan the meals and the list together, and I was just going to do the shopping. Now, we still plan the menu together, but I put together the list and do the shopping. As long as it's keeping us to about $100/week, I'm ok.
