Grocery Challenge Underway!

August 17th, 2008 at 02:04 pm

Although DH's official grocery challenge was to begin September 1st, he's actually so into it that he suggested we start this week. (Who are you, and what did you do with my husband?!)

Phase 1 is done. We've read through the sale ads and planned our menu. Our goal is to shoot for $100, but be flexible to have it go to $125, which will keep us between $400-$500/month. Based on our list, we should be just around $100, though I had to guess for some things like meat, where I won't know the exact price until I see the piece I get.

I'll post after the shopping is done to give you an exact figure, but so far so good.

Later on today, we're going peach, blackberry and raspberry picking. We do this every year at a local farm and it's great fun.

    Good Luck! My budget as of September 1st is $400.00. I know I have to get creative, but I'm determine to stick to it. Wish me luck.

    Hope you have a great time on your fruity outing! Our family used to do pecans & blackberries when I was a kid. I picked a nice copy paper box full of pecans last year out of my Great-Uncs yard.
